Looks really great Nick, all the period touches really make it. Only just found out that those panels are from the 1960's!

I dropped in to say hello to Nick on Saturday morning & I am very pleased to be able to confirm that his new car looks even better in the flesh than it does in the pictures. I rarely see a car that I really lust after, but tghis is one that I'd happily swap my right ball for.
Not that I suspect that Nick would want my right ball!
