Trust me, if you saw BJU at the moment you'd know what I mean. I'd love to be able to fire him up and go for a spin!
Having said that, all the suspension is painted now and will be put back on soon. At least then we will be mobile again and push on with the next stage!
We will one day have a photo with all these tasty H120's in a line

Looks pretty damned cool to me.... it's the slight imperfections that give old cars their character David. Mine's gonna get driven around with dust all over it before it gets the final varnish for the ultimate 'patina' finish! Don't you just love dusty cars!

Hi Martin, I know what you mean, unfortunately mine isn’t tax exempt so I can’t use it even if I wanted to but I would be very wary of using yours when the road salt is down, I know what happened to my last Rapier in just a few winters, and Jason, dunno about showing off when I see pictures of BJU and Mike,s wardance red(VRC) and then there is RAP 120H ( that’s a hell of a registration !) plus Peters EKV then there are a couple of white one's (and that's just the H120's) I feel I have a lot to live up too and I’m not being modest – I have a hell of a lot of work to do to bring her up to those standards especially when you bear in mind I drive her every weekend in the summer, but having said that I wouldn't get into a " my cars better than yours thing" anyway I think they are all lovely!
Best Regards

Its so inspiring to see theres fastbacks in amazing condition - you should be very proud.
I went to start mine over christmas and the battery was dead, so jump started.
then last sunday my mates and i were all meeting for the afternoon in Taunton (100 miles away) and just had to take her out to stretch her legs
Was probably a bad idea as the griters were out on my way home, but i managed to avoid then
I just cant seem to keep her locked up!

Lovely car!!!!
I'm starting to hate winters!
The sooner the summer comes, the better!
I like a car that looks normal but can really knock you off your socks! |

Well there was a funny yellow thing in the sky so I thought I’d get Jessica out of hibernation and fire her up etc, I was quite sad to have to put her away again so I took some pics to pass the rest of the winter, she started up with no fuss
Roll on the summer!!
Best Regards
