Ah this is more like it.......jeans with black shoes, beards, woolly jumpers, little or no contraception, Lotus Elans, old bloke with suit trousers pulled up with braces over his navel, fashionable anorak with hood, shirts tucked into jeans - fab!

Nostalgia..............it ain't what it used to be

Fantastic pics Rich.

Note the Vita decals on this car, it's Chris Cramer's very successful hillclimber that Goodliffe built the engine for, he won everything with that car before flogging it to buy a Terrapin. Not seen a colour shot of it before , It's almost the same yukky colour as that Hornet ! Anymore Rich ?

Look at all the Mamba's, they were obviously popular around the late 60' early 70's as my car had them fitted by the previous owner at about that time too

dont forget mambas where made in yorkshire, so no doubt most of the tuning shops would have been selling them

Very very nice pictures,

I think they suit (my) the car well, I would be up for a couple of spares if anyone has any they dont want, 6J with the valve hole facing the centre of the wheel (as per the pics in the thread )

Great pictures, maybe in years to come the pictures of my car will be nostalgic. I do hold the record after all.
