.....but they had changed to yellow/white by then.....maybe metal plates with the pressed on letters rather than Perspex.

Car looks amazing in the flesh too, great job Kieron 8)

Ready for summer! :cheers:

I know they had ... doesn’t mean it looks good though

As you say.. if you want to keep the white and yellow for the sole reason the car started off like that , at least go for the proper original style

Looks amazing. I saw your car when I was at Gary's a few weeks ago. Well done. I need to get one of those BS AU plates.
Kind regards

I’ve just read the whole thing again from start to finish. I’d forgotten just how much has gone into this shell.

Wonderful stuff, and a benchmark build.
