So apparently there are few people on the board - and also over on ESR - questioning whether I am a genuine enthusiast and owner, or just a timewaster / parts flipper and I thought I'd better post a few pictures of my cars - neither of which are in the UK yet - in order to demonstrate my credentials.
The '72T is still in a container aboard NYK Romulus and is docked at Halifax, Nova Scotia at the moment with an estimated date of arrival in Southampton of November 26th but I won't be surprised if that slips further (it was originally supposed to be here on November 11th):
I have bought a complete but dismantled 2.4S engine from 210bhp, 2 sets of Scheel GT sliders from recarno on ESR, Marchal Ampliluxes from a friend of Kirk's, harnesses and fire extinguisher from stretch and reserved a pair of Recaro 13.28.00s from dizzycap, plus made a load of purchases via eBay, including restored front brake calipers, SB19/20/21 headlight housings & lenses, 380mm wheel (being recovered by jtparr at the moment) and so on. I'm also about to go and pick up a standard/standard crankshaft and a mag small fan housing and strap this week. I've also been regularly in communication with HughH, Kirk, stretch, darren65 (who I met yesterday and had a run in his fabulous Mongrel), camperco, and others about '72 S/Ts generally and the GeLo Racing Team S/T in particular.
