Nice bike pictures Ashley. I've always had a weakness for Italian stuff, and, at the behest of a mate, found myself taking a trip to Bicester a few weeks back to look at the Morbidelli collection which was going under the hammer. He fancied something, so I went along with the excuse that I would pretent to talk him out of having a bid.

A couple of days later, and I was watching the lots going through, and I ended up with this. Hope you like?

Indeed, but the wheels and spinners caught my eye!

A few years ago my motor club had a private visit to CMC in Bridgnorth, the full tour with many employees there to chat too.
The time to get things right on gaps were near horror stories on nearly every E Type.

Very educational and very revealing. Maybe the above is close to factory spec!

One of the group bought a hardtop roadster from their showroom so they were happy.
He sold it within the year and bought a modern Ferrari after, and now a Maclaren which he loves to death.
