I bought the 63 off Owen Warlow in 94 and ran it round as was for about 2 years with the idea of restoring it but I never got round to it and parked the car sold it to John in about 2002 and he converted it to RHD and gave it the resto it deserved. the red 67 is indeed Gaz's old car but it isn't back with it's original owner (my brother) but with another guy from Congleton I think he is registered on the lounge.

Still have the mag coz i thought iit was such an awesome Car. Most impressive is that the write up said that Lyndon was just 29 when he built it and the garage was a 3 mile trek from his home - thats dedication! Lyndon can i ask the trick piece of bling behind the ignition key was that a custom job of ur own?? - IIf so how? WANT ONE! Title: Re: So who on here is from the UK and drives a hot bug?
