And it belonged to a celebrity- a certain Mr Paul Burrell. I think he was in the scuzzy newspapers. Great car though.

Never been driven through a tunnel.

For @Ewan It's green, it's a Venturi, it's not twin blown.

My little R4 just done a trip to Angers to pick up some more glass blocks for the workshop.
Only had 10 boxes a 100 blocks so bought them all.

Had a look at this earlier. A chap I know is bidding on it. But they are not easy cars to own, so I’ll give it a miss.
Unless it looks like its going cheaply, in which I case I might not be able to stop myself...

Seriously considering a lean to carport to the left hand side of the building 15 metres long for storing garden equipment and the vehicles I want to break therefore keeping the inside tidy and for working in.
You can never have enough space.
Met a guy in the Bar last night told me he had a 4 car garage and wants some work doing so looking forward to his visit this week.

good idea on the car port, problem is it doesn't matter how much storage space you have you always need more and want more, i built a large garage/workshop about 5 years ago that can house 6/7 cars and thought that would be plenty big enough, then i had to build another 4 bay garage about 3 years ago and now building a 3 bay garage, the wife is not amused

Find another like that I guess.
Not my cup of tea as I prefer the older quirkier stuff.

Not that I know of. It only bid to £25k, which was well below the reserve, so didn’t sell.

One for Phil - will you be trading yours in for one of these????

With the roads so good for driving around here I'm staying on the tarmac with a internal combustion engine for me.

Does that mean it’s twice as fast or twice as likely to breakdown?
