  If the guy selling this thinks it's lively in the wet he should try the 2.5 Injection version. The replacement chassis on my GT6 was originally fitted to such a beast and had all the fittings for the 2.5 set up. I never saw the car which I believe had been destroyed by fire.

        Well, that one is not alone, every first Sunday of the month there's a car gathering of anything one wishes to bring along, lunchtime on the first Sunday of the month at Hertford Heath, a mile up the road from where I live. Cars from new Lambo's to Austin Sevens to Aerial Atoms etc.
        
        When I saw this one last month my eyes lit up! so Kitch!
        
        This one is based on a GT6, spoke to the owner but didn't get the name,
        
        picture proves they are used!

          ugh!
          
          and that picture wasn't taken last week either
          
          where has summer gone, with me gently slumbering in my hammock, 'neath the pines of tetre rouge as assorted exotica thundered and wailed around le sarthe
          
          sigh

            Not taken last week, but two weeks ago on the first Sunday of the month..... (notice the brown leaves on the ground...)
            
            bear in mind that Hertford Heath in Hertfordshire is closer to the Equator than Walsall
            
            LeMans is but a distant memory...... but the distance to the next one is getting shorter all the time.....

                Ok, not 'commando' weather then? (for Oulton Marshals track day), that's why I'll be driving the Laguna! (and the fact that I'll be lugging shed loads of stuff up there and back again)
                
                ps. I've got the xmas crackers, mice pies, clotted cream, for the Spitfire Aces Oulton Xmas Party! (I know there are Walsall mice arriving too! )
                
                (what is it about late night typing? I think sense and type drivel?)
                
                <do I win for the most smilies?>

                    Cold? Tha' don't know cold tha' southern wus jessie - that's for Bin, Vin doesn't feel the cold in the Banananana.
                    Pity he's not bringing it, we could have warmed our hands at it.
                    When the Turkish distillery caught alight.
                    
                    I was looking at Xmas decorations - would a black Xmas tree suit the Silverback?
                    
                    No, I thought not too.

    No....
    
    Engine is illegal overbore... @ 1360cc (1348cc = max)
    plus... it's just plain ugly...
    
    ... on the plus side though, it does make a TR7 look nice...

      The mice pies sound different, any recommendations for a wine to accompany them.

        I would suggest a Cahors, preferably from the town if CATus should chase a mice pie down well.
        
        Vinnie, not sure which Sunday in the month the meeting is held, could you remind the hard of hearing once more?
        
        As for that car I would suggest that they should be eminently eligible for banger racing, that should get rid of them.

          Sorry I got that Sunday wrong, it's actually the Sunday AFTER the last Sunday of the month...... (please make a mental note and diarise....)
