Hi Steve.
Those pic's are from when I first got the car.
It still has the original magnesium minilites on the rear.
Funny thing was, that one of my mates drive it to goodwood and I drove the 356.
I have never seen anyone so terrified. I dont think he got it out of 2nd :P

Its OK, I have cleaned the graffiti off of the roof.......
Cheers

Welcome to the forum.

I remember your car from ~ 10 years ago when it was down at Jim Avis' place (I supplied a few parts for it) :

Hi John

Good to see you here on DDK. I did a few miles in the passenger seat when Dave rallied the car over in Germany.

Hi Nick.
I think that maybe you know more about the car than I do ;-)
I saw Dave at race retro with the safari car.
It was good to see both cars back together again.
Jurgan was saying that my car looked a bit low on the front.
Guess that's a front end rebuild coming up.
Cheers.
John.

Always nice to see another 'A' on the road, and it looks a nice one as well.

Welcome. I have an A too, in Daventry, so not a million miles away from you.

Hi Roy and Neil.
I really like the early coupes but for some reason I have always ended up with the cab.
I had a 62 a long time ago but prefer the lines of the 'A'
Looking forwards to dry sunny days and maybe we should meet up for a lemonade.
