yes, i called him last night, he was pretty cheesed off about it
i,m worried about mine aswell now... but it should be ok for the next 1000 miles cos i,ll have to run it in...its after that it will probably go boom
i should have left the engine in my 3door, this 4wd transmission carry on is toooo expensive!

Franx,
you could have seen a Delorean a lot nearer, we used to have one in the Grampian Transport Museum. They were innovative, plastic bodies with a stainless steel skin, but not that fast at roughly 8 secs to 60 from the Renault V6. Build quality nothing great either, that one had a metal rod wedged onto the door strut to keep it open. I drove one of the Back to the Future cars at the museum, even slower as it was auto.
How about a 911 speedster, had one of them in there as well, about 60 UK cars IIRC.
Mike.

Mark Morris?
The Mr. Mark Morris - don't happen to know a certain Mr. Andy Turner perchance?
Didn't you go to one of the Blitzin events?
I think we may have been at Goodwood at the same a couple of years back - I had the ridiculously fast Calibra Turbo
Cue you sayin, nah thats someone else!

Predictable reply from me as I own one, but the 90's Mercedes 500E / E500. Only 80 or so in the country. I've seen one on the road in the last 4 years since I knew what they were !

Funnily enough there is and SZ that parks 'on street' with a residents permit that I can often see from my office window.
There is an Aston Martin Zagato Volante that lives in my village (1/25)
Maserati Bora
41 originally brought into UK less than half are still known to exist (One in my garage though
)
Sunbeam Tiger Mk II Around 14 original UK cars of which approx 7 are known to exist - These are the 289 (same as a Cobra) engined cars rather than the more common 260 - (again one in my garage )
How about the ISO Grifo especially in 7 litre form?
Gordon Keeble
Trident
Jenson Interceptor FF
A thing about V8's....me? Surely not...

The Lancia Stratos - 492 built, about 20-30 in UK, many went to Japan in the early 1990's. We own one :-)
Lancia 037 - not many in UK. 200 road cars built and about 20 Evo versions
Lancia Delta S4 - only about 85 cars actually built.
Lancia Aurelia - quite a number in the UK. We own one and look after several. Currently working on a B24 Spider (one of 150 made) and a B20 Coupe.
Lancia Fulvia HF - several thousand made. About 6 in our workshops at the moment and one in private collection.
Rarest at the moment is a Lancia Flaminia Supersport. Only three were made in RHD, one came to the UK and is here, the others went to Australia.
