Has anybody had any recent contact, especially by e-mail, with the Vintage Motor Company? I've e-mailed them twice re. the Royale Sabre with no response.
Having said that, their web site is particularly well geared-up for e-mail contact and it happens to suit me too as I cannot easily phone during business hours.
I did wonder whether they took my enquiries seriously... this is what I asked them:
* Where can I study a build manual?
* Is the bug-eyed Scorpio also a good donor as well as the Granada?
* Do they know of anybody who has successfully used a BMW engine/gbox/diff/suspension/anything else as a donor?
Quite varied I know and it may seem to them that I do not really know what I want - which of course is perfectly true and the reason for asking. They may have thought that I could not possibly be serious about all this.
I considered that in the light of the type of question, I'd be more likely to get a considered response than if I caught them "on the hop" by phone.
Have now had an e-mail response from Vintage Car Co. They sent me some nice pictures plus some word docs on kit contents etc but nothing I had not already obtained from their web site.
Didn't answer any of the questions I put to them at all.
Might just phone them but I think this is going nowhere. Pity - great looking car from where I'm standing. Perhaps I should check out the LMC Roadster that I saw at the Stoneleigh show.
