Congratulations to you and your wife! 🥳🥳🥳
Cars looking great as always!

Look what Santa brought…

Thanks guys, I wasn’t planning on buying parts but when I spotted the pairs of exactly the same lenses I have (that aren’t a matching pair) it was hard to resist. Very Nice chit chat too. The cowl was a bonus I never thought of, but it’s been a long time dream to get a plated cowl rather than my str...

Yes, finally. A few grumpy old men from Sweden decided to fly to England to see the Beaulieu Auto jumble and museum. Tomorrow We are headed back to Sweden. A few pics. Personally I managed to find a very Nice cowl for one of my Austins plus some sidelight, and headlamp lenses. Happy days! https://i....

WOW!!! Lovely lovely pics, thanks for sharing!

The red Magnum P.I-Ferrari had a close call...

If somenone had a 9000 turbo people would drop their jaws and sigh out loud. Looking at this test it's really inte...

Looks a vast improvement to me Henrik! :wink: :D Still need some rubber!

Very nice article there! Congrats Marc!

Dito! It’s always Nice with those comments and the chat. We have an old man living somewhere in our community and I’ve spoken to him on several occasions. He loves the 800s and it was apparently his dream car. He even knows I have both ths coupe and the black Vitesse. When we meet there is s wink an...

Very nice Henrik! Is that a holiday home or something? Yes Dave. On my wifes side, not too far from home. It’s been in the family since the late 40s. The Vitesse is great for this. Plenty of space and still a real car. We went to the recycling station with the old stuff and an old guy called out ”H...

Henrik, Vitesse dogleg alloys were fitted with 205/60 x 15 from the factory, so that is the correct size

Dave

Ok! Thanks Dave, that puts my old spare wheel in a new perspective. I’ll go for 205 then!
