Hi all

I am having some work done to my 550 Spyder replica by Paul Foreman and I posted a few pictures of the story so far on the spyderclub site....I guess I could have put them here so hopefully you are not offended!

Anyway if you wish to take a look here is the link:

I have a few weeks more progress to add in the next few days!

Hopefully the car will be on the Owen Motor Club stand at the NEC Classic Car Show in November.....

Cheers. ant.

Thanks, wish I was doing it myself but just don't have the time...oh and talent!

Fingers crossed the car will go to the painters in a couple of weeks for about 6 weeks. I saw one of his jobs the other day and the paint was great. Like glass, so fingers crossed.

With some luck the car will be on the Owen Motor a Club stand....with a DDK sticker in the window of course!
