Nice Picture, Makes it look distinctive.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Yes I saw your bike AndyG very patriotic, another world leading British machine

So here are some more pictures of my new car no.689. I'm continuing on this thread because I thought it shows how good the forum is when you can post in search of a rare spec car and a couple of days later someone comes along with exactly what you're after

I was looking around for a suitable spot and thought this would be nice. The oak tree is probably 400 years old and it's raining so it's a classic British setting. Not too great on 'the green ice' though, glad of the lsd in escaping that treacherous flat field





No leaks or broken mechanisms here... ever!



The ride and handling is a lot sharper than what I'm used to with the stiff suspension and low profile tyres. Have to see how I get used to it but I notice the 75 version had 17" wheels so maybe they would be a bit more pliant (I'm really not a fast driver)?



This is the depth of rubber I'm used to lol



Halogen bulbs here, if one breaks it's just a trip to Halfords. Bill gave me a 3M polishing kit with the car so I should be able to clear up that mistyness



Manual half leather seats - perfect



Windy windows in the back, you only get these in the very lightest and most exotic sports cars nowadays



Nice, simple and I could update the head unit if I wanted ipod stuff (not that I have an ipod)



Rust on the chassis but still solid. Am I missing an undertray here? I'm going to book it in for rustproofing to stop this from getting any worse



Just emailed Zero about buying end cans for it so watch this space

I tried the Bridgestones and found them Sloppy.






Toyos are better, when you come to change


It looks like someone has done you a favour and replaced the locking bolt with a std bolt

Yes should have an undertray, there was one on ebay in the last couple of days - bit expensive but now pretty hard to find.

Looks good though

^^ Thank you sir I now have an undertray on its way. Funny, I just seem to write things on the forum and they appear. 'I am looking for a large bag of gold hidden inside my car...'

Not a bag of gold, but a goldmine awaits, I see you're still blue, get your questionnaire back to Tim if not leads away and the rest of this site will open up which will keep you reading for months
