I remember seeing the car way before Simon did the Petty job on it.
It was in 1999 at Knebworth. Completely stock and in a shade a fair bit darker than B5.
Knowing the Twins I'm sure they (or someone) will have a pic of it at the time.

Funny you should say that Gary I used to be a chippy packed it in near on 20 years ago and was going to build a timber garage but think I probably block build so it can be rendered to match the house. Nice workmanship there though I must admit.
Carl having had concrete, brick built and block build garages over the years, I can say that would is by far and away the best, warm, dry and most important of all, no condensation.
I've had a car in bare metal in my workshop for the best part of six months and it's still shiny!
Yes your right Ivor wood is better in that respect, I was thinking block so its in keeping with the house. I guess it could be timber frame then board, mesh and render the outside.

No but they're totally different cars Carl, mines great for 11 sec bursts but sometimes i wish i could use it on the road. Mind you, i took it round the industrial estate near me today while it was quiet - Duncs just freshened up the trans and it really put a smile on my face! Cant wait for next year

You have a great car there matey and i hope you enjoy it
