Sorry you have to suffer the torment of not seeing the project right through Paul, that must really P you off. I'll keep my fingers crossed you get that final sign-off trip in. Nice job, well done.

Hi Paul.

May I just say what an extraordinary job you have done with the car, i know how much time and effort has gone into it and when you kindly gave me a tour of the car back in the summer, your work was second to none. I bet seeing it leave is like losing an arm :lol:

Keep up the good work buddy

I know for certain that an infrequent poster on here bought 2 of them direct from Downton in the late 60's.

I spoke to Tommy about these when I attended the last race of the season, at Falkenberg a few months back...

IF my memory serves me right, one car went back to the UK, and the other was divided into bits over the years. Perhaps Tommy can find the time to fill in the details?
Cheers,
