Car SOS 356

I'm watching this now. What a state the shell is in. They are struggling to raise the C on a lift.

I thought the car turned out very nicely

Considering what they started with and the time scale involved - they did a fantastic job, for a really nice guy

Great episode. Who's that dodgy bloke on the tractor, though?

[Mike Smith]

I will certainly not draw swords with you over that `Dodgy Geezer`


I thought it was better than the usual S.O.S episodes - but to almost quote someone from our era

I would say that wouldn`t I

Mike.l I understand they used their own team/people to build the engine did ask for any advice on the engine build?

We supplied all the parts for the restoration but as you say, it was their man that built the engine

I am not around these days (Paul handles everything at PRS now) so I was not party to what was said on a day to day basis but have no doubt that Paul would have had some say in it.

It is what you see, they just got on with it and overcame every problem as it occured. and when you start to realise that they have to hit every booked date i.e. The Velodrome, The MOT etc, etc and also prepare for the future shows, you start to realise how professional they are.

They were a very nice crowd to work with

Cheers for sharing Neil - thought I was gonna have to wait 'til they air that on Channel 4

The show's become very formulaic so I only tune in if they're doing an interesting car and I enjoyed that one. Another 356 back on the road as well

Where's it gone? I want to watch that one and a previous one about a mate and his Cannon Trials car but am not a NG subscriber.....anyone know where i can view these? W

[Hugo 356]

I suspect it was taken down as an infringement of broadcasting rights. The modern equivalent of a pirate video tape! Whoever posted it was considerate enough to hit pause during the adverts.

It'll be on Channel 4 some time in 2021 if it doesn't pop up on You Tube again...

[Mike Smith]

Thanks Neil,

I was there and this is the first time I have seen, what I assume to be, a a full version

[Ignatzcatz]

Hi Winston, I received info on the Cannon trials car on SOS from a HST pal, this was the link which I haven't tried yet but this is how it was printed:

Hope it works for you

I really enjoyed that program

I think the car would have looked nicer with bumpers !!!!!

[Hugo 356]

Bumperless T6 looks good with the right stance; front end reminiscent of the later 550 Spyders
