Ah..
Saw that last year at the show, tucked away in the corner. A belter for sure.

Wasn't it going to Moggie for electric?

Going on Saturday, unmissable show, hope to see you there Darren.

Thanks KS,

I am truly humbled by the skills found in the restoration thread section of DDK and some of the things that we can all achieve by working as a team.

This time last year at Dowsetts we scratch built a homage to Fangio's winning Alfa, in aid of Harrisons Fund. A little lad with muscular Dystrophy, & sold it at NEC Auction, with all proceeds going to the Fund

All of our time was donated, we all put our hands in our own pockets to purchase, run around & blag materials.

From a team of passionate folk we built this...

Again everything was hand made & 1000's of skilled man hours were put into it to "make it happen"

Not wanting to derail this Porsche thread, I 'll leave it there for now, maybe do a dedicated build thread elsewhere someday...

Currently I'm working on several "new" projects that I can't disclose on here yet (maybe come have a chat with me at NEC :wink: ) and besides all my own car stuff I've bought a 66 Mustang for restomod as a secret 21st present for my lad (shhhh), so apologies if the 997 stalls a little :wink:

Keith, being humbled for me is all about sharing my time & skills 8)

Graham, yes, that was a mock up last year at NEC. That particular car, has been reworked and is now in L.A. USA, undergoing some "exciting" EV development that I can tell you about at the weekend :wink:
