I can see that needing some serious money chucking at it.

! I'm not too well up on the latest emissions regs so excuse this question if it's daft but if it could be proved by an emissions test that this particular car could pass the current emissions, would it not then be possible to register it as new?

Looks to have been a good show. The Fairline was ahead of its time with it metal folding roof. Great to see it all in action when the roof goes up or down. Something about those old Yanks 8) i agree. I just love them. Its amazing how they namaged to produce so many different models in the 50's. Cad...

This is how it looked in Sept 08. It was for sale at the Beaulieau autojumble for £850. Itt had 22000 miles on the clock and looked much nicer then without all the additions. I saw this ad the other day and thought what a pity. I considered buying it in 2008 but decided it needed too much work on t...
