i havent posted any pics of my newest car but feel its about time since is old my bahama yellow 912 and regretted it i bought a tangerine 68 912.

the car is fantastic and was due to bemy wedding car for the 21st september 2007. all was well untill the day before the wedding when travelling up from london to coventry on the m1 the fan belt broke snapping the pulley and leaving me stranded, in the rain waiting for the rescue. I know i should of had a spare but the wedding had been a bit of a busy build up. so in the rain on the m1 waiting for the services i phoned roger bray an explained my situation that i was gettin married in the morning and was desperate for the parts. i thaught that i didnt have a chance of using the car but to my amazement the parts arrived before 9 am the following morning, with a wedding card and some chocolates.

half an hour later the car was on the road to get me to the church on time.

i would just like to say a big thankyou to all at rogerbray for the unbelieveable service that they gave me.

just thaught id share a few pics of the my car and the day and my car

arriving in the car now fixed!!!

after!!!

with the old mans car

Congrats hope you had a fantastic day

hope that foam didn't ruin your paintwork. I've heard that it marks the paint.

Car looked fantastic what about the bride?

thanks

my dads motor is a complete one off hand built replica of a type37 bugatti. the car has was based on many original parts such as body, chassis, the car has been restored by him using as many original parts as possible, its still work in progress as the suspension needs to be put back to original but as we all know it takes time. his car has won many shows and is great to drive with the outside gearchange, and those tyres make the handling interesting.

apparently it will be mine as soon as i have a garage for it!!!

Many congratulations Matt.

Good to see pics of your new motor at last, I saw that you'd bought a new one after I took the old one off you. I've been having fun in the car so far and treating it very well...I think.

Your Dad's car is very nice by the way.

Well done on managing to acquire another Porsche and not getting dumped at the Alter!

Carl.
