Hi there and welcome on board.
Tony is a great fellaand you are right, his car is the envy of many, he did very well in the concourse competition in Belfast a couple of years ago.
He has always been a bit on his own where he is so it will be good for him to have another member close to him too!
All the Best and congratulations on your purchase!

Wow the joys of social media and YouTube. That was at the seaham classic car show in County Durham. Not sure who has taken the video but the tall gentleman in the blue and red checked shirt is me. How does the recommission look so far?

Have to say chris, that's impressive. Looking forward to reading the book. The car came with quite a bit of memorabilia old magazines, paperwork and newspaper clippings. Will probably bring it along to the next club get together which I'm assuming is in November at the NEC

Yes Kris,
look forward to meeting you at the NEC…hopefully I will have a few 'production' copies of the book for sale.
i'm currently listing Vin information..its very time consuming and mind numbing boring…but doubtless will be very popular with owners and enthusiasts.
