Elan, maybe Elite? I can see. Triumph though? Edit - ah GT6.

Not sure I should post an American V8 engined car now, but it's better looking than most :D

Excellent colour combo

UPS just came to the door, which I was painting the other side of, clearly visible through the window. Without stopping, or ringing the bell, he puts a card through saying ‘sorry we missed you’ that was clearly pre written, and fucks off! I didn’t even have time to get down and open the door ...

The red thing is just the elastic cover to keep the wheel clean in the workshop.

True

I knew about the red wheel cover you daft sod

It's not quite my favourite R500, and the red steering wheel is a bit jarring, but otherwise I quite like it

That Ultima looks the business. Almost cheap for that money.

You don't stipulate that it has to be driven on road so I went straight to Racecars Direct.

To state the possibly obvious, he was a car nut. Loved Ferrari (made a film about it https://www.timeout.com/movies/la-passione) and used to race 7s. Always thought the painting of the 7 used for Auberge was particularly nice. Great bloke by all accounts. RIP.

That's a great idea though. Make it unique, then auction it for mucho dollars. He's got form profiteering with modified Jags now hasn't he

Plans for the Project 7 sound good
