The quotable Jim Glickenhaus reckons he's put 20,000 miles on his 206 Dino Competizione Pininfarina; “Not putting miles on your Ferrari is like not having sex with your girlfriend so she’ll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.”

First journey for jnr's covid project.... 54 'essential' miles. Trouble free, goes well, feels good. He's only 15 so I was works driver. He's really worked hard over the last 10 months on every aspect of a full rebuild from bits, putting in many 100s of hours. A proud moment and a great result.....

Whose body work did he use - Keith Roach ?

Fantastic, great to see the interest from a new generation. My Son has his Mk2 16V Golf stripped to a bare shell over the last 6 months.

It is an old Stuart Rolt body, made in 1981 or so. It was on a friends Ulster rep, very tired after much trialling and a mishap with a horse! He deemed it an uneconomic repair, se we rescued it with much of a new floor and a lot of repair patches.....

This is where we were in April 2020....
