My first effort was a Series Two Phaeton. Tim Dutton's advert asserted that it could be completed in a weekend! This was somewhat wide of the mark, as I bought it in '82, started building in '84 and finished it in '86.
The first picture was taken on the day of the hurricane in '87. That tree came down right in front of me on my morning commute, showering the cockpit with twig shrapnel. It had been moved to the verge by the time I snapped it on my way home. The second picture is at Camping Bleu, Le Mans '90, just before I sold it to pay for my roof. Happy Days!
Regards, Mick
