Hi
the car looks really rather good , so different from the before pictures and it does not have lop sided head lamps any more , would you care for a meeting with its twin some time , I'm sure its owner would like a trip out, Bill.

Bill? Is that WUF 810?

If so, I left a message on your answer machine a little while ago re a viewing. If it is still for sale would you mind dropping me a pm?

Many thanks,
Steve

John,

The car is painted Ivory. How long to go on your car?

Bill,

So did you look at the car before I bought it? Nasty mess wasn't it? I'm NEVER buying someones unfinished junk heap again. Only unmolested barn finds from now on!

Paul - what a top looking car! Well done mate - looks superb! Truly.

Roy - yep, I'm looking good for Goodwood BC end of this month. I dropped my 356 at PR Services late last week as the MOT has expired, so assuming it is back in time I'll be in the 356. If not then I'll be in the 911. I'll PM you over next few days once I know for sure...!

And Paul, have to say again, your car looks stunning. Would love to see it in the flesh. Well done again, very pleased for you as I can imagine how chuffed you must be feeling... :drunken:

A's

Two great looking 356A's - Good to see that they are not the usual silver.

Although I was wondering if the later hub caps are correct on the Brighton car?

Pity my friend gacve birth on the Friday as that scuppered another 356 going to the Goodwood BC!!!

Anyway both lovely cars which would make mine look rather shabby!!!

All the best and enjoy before the winter comes! (or has it already arrived!!)

Hi Paul,
My mistake it looks a deeper colour on my PC and I did have an Ivory C a few years back which looked much whiter. I now realise they changed the colour over the years.

I'm hoping to paint my car in the next 1/2 weeks weather permitting. I've bought another marquee and I'm going to do it Meissen blue like Roys.

Then I need the upholstery/interior trim sorting and build my engine and I should be running - sometime.

John
