I was pretty chuffed to have my car selected for display at today's Goodwood GRRC day at Goodwood House. The storyboard is a nice little momento for the mancave as well

Lots of other interesting cars there

Just kicking about in the car park! Absolute Aston perfection

The general theme of my build was always to end up with a period car with stealthy application of modern kit where I felt it would enhance the drive. And / or the usability

Today I paid an illuminating visit to RPM for one of their LED headlamp kits ( impressive facility )

Here are the results

Period correct look

2014 spec performance. With a grey car that blends into seasonal gloom I reckon these will help me go faster and more safely. As Colin chapman didn't say: "add performance through vision " !

Andy:

£1000 to 1500 for the pair with a few options to choose from.
Great looking and look like a modern take on the similarly priced but rare cibe headlamps.

Expensive, but real lights on an early 911!

Thanks for swinging by Dan, it was great to catch up and look forward to a drive out and chasing your tail sometime soon.

Cheers,

Mr. Daniel Squires, I've missed something major by the look of things. Why / where has this splendiferous vehicle gone? :shock: :shock: :shock:

Dan may be along soon, but in the meantime, the car was sold 9-12 mths ago. Life's a bit like that sometimes. It went back to Tuthills and I am not sure where afterwards or whether it morphed into another guise.
