A good friend of mine who I competed in classic trials with bought an MG PB for trials use,when we got it in the garage and had a good look it was immaculate!,just missing the gearbox and engine,we were going to fit a tuned Ford 1172 sidevalve lump in it for trials use but could'nt bring ourselfs to it and persivered with a 1949 Ford pop special,and the little MG has never turned a wheel since,must be 15 years now...

Strangely enough, that's Mervyn's latest project! He bought an MG PA chassis and running gear with a Ford sidevalve engine, that he hopes to take on classic trial events. The chassis is done, and the engine is finished and running, just the bodywork to complete........

Bike is a Can am Bombardier, tank is either a Chieftain or a Challenger 1 - I think. Somewhere near Hanover, 1985.

Two liter, twin-cam Yamaha heads, 2000GT. Some say E-Type derivative, but the Toyota is a lot more lithe and elegant. The body curves deliciously subtle, and the sound glorious! Though approaching 'small', a big 911 driver like me can still fit behind the wheel too... For a European flavor though, my next-door-neighbor's A6 GCS. Nothing quite like being woken up on a Sunday morning as it coughs and splutters, then snarls into life:

What a way to start the day.... the Maserati is beautiful and I wouldn't mind being woken up to that!

And the Senna clip is, well... Senna. Fantastic.

That yacht sails out of Hull about 6 miles from my house - in fact my house looks down on the estuary and I can see the Humber bridge and the river from our breakfast room as I type this - small world etc !
