I never got to see the rest of the show to be honest! I was either sheltering in the gazebo at our local group stand or with AJC cleaning TBJ until about 11.30.

Mine is feeling a little neglected over the last 2 years! This one has had all the attention! Need to do a small resto on mine again but it'll have to wait a few years yet unfortunately, but I will be doing a bit of work on it here and there to improve a few bits and pieces. I have other things that require my attention. It got dumped on the stand and then I set off to help AJC on this one.

You were grafting and had loads around the car, remember when my mate did it the other year he said it was seriously hard work.

Congrats on the trophy, nice bit of history to put with the car and recognition for the work thats gone in to it

It's not standard, but close. Just some basic sensible modifications.

It may be at Croft Paul, and possibly Castle Combe, and maybe National Day so you may get to see it in the flesh at one of those shows. It's not as clean as we could have got it, but we refused to remove waxoyle from certain areas for points on a score card. We'd sooner have a nice Escort than a trophy that reminded us it was nice once upon a time!

Gaz! Did you expect anything less?! We've another to build yet and get AJC's Monte and Sapphire back together.

Well I wouldn't go that far but we do pride ourselves in producing a very very good car in our humble opinion. There will be critics out there who find fault here and there. We know where we could improve bits on the car but even then it's only minor bits, Like the fact we have a genuine throttle cable to go on it which has the blue silicone protective sleeve on it for example.
