Le Mans MK1

[hotrs2000]

bloody good job there Paul , why o why did I ever sell my mk1 all those yrs ago

[steve1]

I hear what you are saying guys but the owner has always wanted a bubbled MK1, it was perhaps unfortunate that this car had been retro fitted with a pair of 1300E wings, however at the end of the day it is his car to do as he pleases. I wish that when I did my last MK2 I had stuck with my original plan to flat front and arch it, had I done that I would still own it, instead I listened to what others said and built it back to standard then sold it.

Oh, we still have the little grey MK1 but shell number 3 is being picked up as we speak, bit of work on for the grinder over the next few months ..........

Arguably you can't beat flat front & arches, but personally i'm glad you listened to "others" then sold it to me......your workmanship is A1......keep up the good work.

he is quite knowledgeable, I wonder if he's ever thought of becoming a registrar

Arched MK2 next, works colours I think for the same lad who owns the bubble, the grey MK1 will be sold on shortly after a few items have been reserved for the bubble shell.

Do you have a finish date in mind?
