Just caught up with this thread. The pictures are great. Wish I could have been there and your car looks just fabulous Nigel.

I'm thinking that chassis 17 should maybe have silver surrounds to the lights as it is a 72 MY shell. I think it was also delivered with under the bumper round fogs.

Never bored, if there are any more pics keep them coming. Greeny's car looked great too. Two fantastic colours.

Regards
Mike

Thanks for the posts Mike and Nigel - so wish I had come now!

My Neil finished that RS quickly, and to win a prize in that company is an amazing feat , he's obviously on a creative high at the moment!

Was the RSR in Darren's Post Johan's ? He's a super friendly guy.

Regards

Sanjay

Sanjay, you'd have loved it. And to think the prize winning RS was the shell we saw at the back of Neil's shop on Mike's RSR day, good work!

Mike, here are a few more at end of runway and you're right about the round fogs on #13. Nick's car did look good and he was in that elite group of really long term owners 8)

Here's another detail not often seen, cooling vents on the white car. Wonder who made those front panels?

Nigel,

fantastic pics - gutted i couldn't make it, what a fantastic event and effort everyone made. the goodie bag (stickers, books, key rings etc) make it even more special, very jealous.
