Its a start but not a 3002 replica other than nose and roll bar.... Autometer gauges.. Fabulaous car but alloy suspension and vented rotors would not pass vintage requirement as I know it. ...

I think those "spirited" discussions are a thing of the past. One of my favorite questions of all time was when a hot rodded 4 banger recently zoomed up beside me in a gas station. He rolled down...

My Kirkham was in the shop last year for maintenance, minor upgrades and new tires. Eleven years after purchase, David replaced a not-so-inexpensive non-Kirkham manufactured part “under warranty.” ...

My disagreement is based on over 25 years in this industry. At least with Kirkhams, non-original motors absolutely kill the resale value of our cars in every instance I have seen. We had three of...

Sorry to hear your car didn't sell for what you wanted. I think all of us have heard stories of cars selling both high and low at auctions. As with most things, it can be a roll of the dice. There...

I tell them “yes, it is a real, aluminum-bodied Shelby Cobra, but unfortunately not one of the rare originals from the sixties”. Then, if they ask what is the difference, I tell them “about a million...

They were the very finest (only) automobiles to ever come out of Malta. No higher praise. First time I've seen a glovebox held in place by a pile of five pieces of mdf board. As for the carpet!!...

Thanks Mark. Interesting that the original MkIII nose shape is called a "short nose", and BA's version not called a "long nose" :rolleyes:
