Great to hear John. Nice that she is still running fine and doing some miles as well.

Well done Dave, a good result and reassuring that the leak is fixed.
Like you say, just because they become exempt a proper check is not a bad thing.

More paint details for Matese Green Weirdly. The different paint vendors use different compositions to achieve the same shade. I’m sure Keith can shed light on the technicalities of paint wizardry Max Meyer 92982AA1-8B13-4A26-B4BC-42472B514F6A.jpeg Glasurit 9222BD55-2E37-442C-AAD7-CA4C60727E5C.jpeg...

Nice work on the axel, looking good.

I like the one at the bottom Lou

At least it is safe for now mate. Would look great along side the rest of your Lancias, all fixed and shiney.

I do not know, but probably.

Here is Nik Lear's old Sud, Think Nick Gibbons owns it now.

Looks like a Flaminia PF to me We have a Zagato at work, great motor.
Sure Kev will fill us in soon.
Great find Kev.

As always, a great selection of cars and info from you Lauren. I share your love for the little Simca, and they are small. Remember looking at a few in a show at Race retro one year when Abarth had a stall. A "new" Fiat 500 looked massive next to them. The Fiat 8v looks stunning, and what a colour. ...

That fabrication work is fantastic, I know it may sound sad, but I love the floor pan especially.
Cracking job.

AOG , great work, but just in case you were unsure, your bumpers are stainless steel, so just need preparing and polishing.

Sprint is looking great and getting close to paint prep.
Great link you put up. Looks like they can supply some useful panels,
Hope they are useful to some more people restoring cars. Thanks.

Here you go Lou,

I love when these rare cars turn up. I like the louvered boot lid.

Hi Lauren, thanks for sharing the photos you took of the day. It was a really good turn out of cars and nice to finally spend some time with you. It is great to be able to meet up with people who you have got to know on our wonderful forum but never in the real world. Nice to also meet Craig and hi...

I remember seeing that car sell and what a transformation.
Thanks for posting the link David, that fabrication work is first class.
Is the car now finished or is it still being completed?

I agree Lauren, this obsession with massive diameter wheels with rubber band tyres just doesn't suit those sort of cars.

Not Tesla Kev. I think it’s a custom job but very well done I’ve seen lots of US hot rods using those handle kits they look really slick Tesla ones are more oblongular. As Lou says Kev, these seem to be a popular mod on shows like Fast and Loud (Gas Monkeys) and Bitchin' Rides. Dave Kindig (Bitchin...

Looking again at the door handles. The weather strip looks too modern

I go for the Bi turbo and Lotus Esprit as well, but I will be honest not sure of the others.
Those door handles seem to be a kit as I have noticed them on retro fit classic American Muscle, so for that i will say a 69-70
Dodge Challenger or Chevy Camero.

Some more great pictures capturing the day.
Sorry to hear that you had such a traumatic journey home Lauren, but to be fair, it did turn out to be a very hot day.

Cheers Lauren, thanks for that, as Lou says then.

Thanks for the offer Lou, but I don't think I will need another. Hope someone on here could use it as they are a nice finishing touch.

Hi Lou, can I ask if the 185/60 profile gives the same sort of rolling radius as the original spec 165/70 's.
Namely, does the speedometer still read accurate ?
Cheers.

That was one of the first things I looked for when doing my car Lou.
I remembered having one on my first Sud and looked for ages for one, sods law eh? Lovely script on them.

How did I miss this??
I got the first three, didn't get the Keeble but knew it was British as it is using standard Lucas light units.

Tinker !!
