I seemed to do a lot of talking yesterday, aswell as the Autosolo and a trip to the arena. Anyway, nice to talk to, deep breath, John Lucas, John Wood, Chris Turner, John Clancy, Gordon Birtwistle, Harris Mann and a few more aswell. By the way, i seem to have lost some rubber off my back tyres when i left yesterday. Not sure where that went. mmmm.

What ever way you look despite the colour a stunning styled car the interior is pure Italian, just about everthing on these cars is bespoke so restoring must be a nightmare not to mention £$£$3$ !!

Body panels were hard to get even back in the day. Just don't run into anything or let anything hit you.

There's a chap four miles from here who does complete Italia bodyshells. Commissioned by Revington TR but I believe only one car has been done. Anyway, the chap in question is a former Aston Martin panel beater. He built the TRS replica which appeared about 12 years ago and I went in and took photos of it being created. Amazing workmanship.

That's gotta cost. I'd be scared to drive the car let alone park it in a parking lot.[:p]
