Re: 1275GT 'Custom'
Been slowly plodding along - not easy now I'm away most of the week for work.
However with only a few weeks left until its debut show we must press on.
So one weekend the engine went in:
And a couple of weekends later everything under the bonnet was about finshed and after a bit of dizzy twiddling she came back to life.
Now looks like this:

Taxed, tested and insured!
Just a few finishing touches and it'll be about done.

Re: 1275GT 'Custom'
Well today was show day! The weather was a bit poor, some very light spitting showers with dry spells in between and just one bit of heavyish rain for 10 minutes. So not a bad day but enough to put off a lot of public visitors.
Had a poke around Richspec's 7 port - nice looking bit of kit which looks like it would go well. That Arden head just looks so 'right'.
Not got many photos but here are a selct few for now:
Trailered it there to keep the underneath from getting too wet - there were a few flooded roads about
Looked the part though after a last minute buff:
and with a bit of sun!:
And couldn't resist a team shot:

Aye, saw this today and very nice in the flesh it is too I've got a couple of photos which I'll post up tomorrow.
It was a pity about the weather, it really affected the turnout, we were down from ten cars to four! We had my 8 port a 1071 S, a mini 30 and my brothers 8 port

I'm away from home with work, but apparently a message has been left on the answer machine from a freelance journo working for MiniWorld who wants to do a feature!
