It may not be the kind of car that is for quick winding road blasts…but as a GT it is wonderful….It makes me smile all the time and seems to have a positive affect on someone every time I go out for a drive….

Perfect...

Absolutely fantastic..... well impressed.

It seems like the intention is to live a "London" life for a year or so....and it might be worth considering what that entails... it could be long commutes on the tube train most days and weekends doing the same to get to Central London attractions... or its about living somewhere close to...

Very good series.... "A Porsche for Methuselah" if I recall. WAs a factor in my purchase...

Major, major OCD that is repaying massively. The sharpest e-type ever…..so crisp.

Amazing..... seriously good work JP. Loving the bespoke design solutions and the quality of the build.

Loving the videos..... brilliant work as ever. Well done.

Might I add a very narrow and individual view on this; having worked on both RR and Packard Merlins, as well as a BMW radial engine....along with Spitfire airframes, a YAK 3 (Russian built) and an Bucker Bu133 (WW2 Germain trainer) and Bu181. The engines were all much of a muchness in terms of engin...

Been with the AA for a coupe of decades now... not used them much but enough to stay with them. The 'only' problem is that they insist in getting a 'patrolman' to look at the car and attempt a repair, regardless of the type of problem. At times that does add hours to the recovery process. During whi...

You might find that your 73 car already has the fixing points for three point belts.

My 72 LHD car (French delivery) did and I simply had three pointers from Quickfit installed.
