Yes the Series 1 is the car for me especially the 4.2...they really are a great driving car.
This one will be modernised though big breaks, uprated suspenders, cooling, charging/electrics and 5speed gearbox. Suspenders will be trick adjustable.
Ally bonnet will be fabricated along with most other panels.
Oh and Latil. Whatever you do DON'T go buying a body from Martin Robey. I can confirm first hand that virtually nothing fits back on and holes in the wrong place etc. An absolute nightmare. Always use as much original panels and fixtures as poss. Most repro stuff is utter rubbish.
More pics of the V12 since there's not much to report on the S1

....... My favorite was a concourse 66 series 1 4.2 in opalescent dark blue with grey leather, it was a Browns Lane development car with some unusual factory mod's..........must be worth a mint now 
............but ( unbelievably now, but not then ) I swapped it for an equally mint Ferrari 250 GTE.........wished I still had that one
