..though it might just be the registration number in the competition, and possibly the left-hand sprongle bracket. One never knows....

Wings not to hard to do the big problem you would need two of you simply
Because of length !
My problem I ask questions that other people don't like?

I know that you (and I think Marcus too) are building one Ian and I am sure that it will be spot on.

Not a loaded question - are you in position, on the back of your special build, to estimate how many hours you think it will take to complete it please?

The current owner does both Spannerman - he enjoys showing it but is not afraid to drive it properly, he does not spare the horses.

I would love to drive it but I am totally unable to get my 6' 3" into it, even with the entire seat and parts of the floor removed. I have been it several times when I was much younger as a passenger - one memorable time flat out in a hail storm - they really hurt your nose at 70mph!
