After the 996 and the 997.1 I decided to leave Porsche (for a short while) great noise and colour but pretty dull......

Interesting. I went out in one with Harry Metcalfe who reckoned it was one of the worst cars he'd ever driven.

The first car I “owned”. And me in front of it. In 1973.
It’s an MGYA that my dad bought as a restoration project when I was born.
I say he bought it for me.... I can imagine the conversation between him and my mum:
“...but it’s an investment for the baby, darling”

1 of 8 made in RHD.
Lots of little details that they didn’t shout about. Hand ported head, hand built & blueprinted engine (matched bearings), custom cam & crank, thin ringed pistons, custom exhaust, etc.

And how could I forget my MGB. It was a barn find but full respray, and new interior, a set of chrome wires later and, 'I say. bang on'.

Actually it's just twigged! Andy doesn't actually remember what they were and is asking for our suggestions! (It's his age, you know...).

OK - another shot which should help.
I sold the wheels separately to the car & the buyer (in the Netherlands) fitted them to his Zagato:
