Mine unfortunately.

My wife and I were in the car when the fire started and we were fine thanks.

The flexi pipes from the fuel pump to the carbs were replaced last year with ethanol compatible pipe, but the flames were first spotted by a car next to us under the car so we believe it was a problem with the pipe that goes from the tank to the fuel pump, or the rubber joiner, that was the cause. I guess we will never know for sure.

After the fire

Some of you will remember this post from last year so thought I would finish it with a happy ending.

The damage from the fire was superficial although many rare and expensive parts were destroyed. Restoration is now just about complete and all being well she should be back on the road next week
