While I'm waiting for my car to come back from the spray shop

I feel rather like a dog without a bone at the moment. 'Carrie' has been in the sprayshop for ages and is due to return home next week. In the meantime I've been having a major garage clearout. Amazingly enough this is just about covering the spraying and plating costs. I've still got a few bits left if anyone's interested. The rear lights and pods and the nearside spare wheel well are still available as are original Carisma instruments ( fuel gauge and temperature gauge in magnolia and excellent condition) and a Triumph? Speedo which is currently on EBay. Also on EBay at the moment is a Mountney 13.5" woodrim steering wheel.


On the subject of EBay (UK) there are two "SS 100" for sale at the moment, a lovely white Suffolk SS replica at £59995 and a genuine job in black at a mere £235000.
Also listed on Ebay is an interesting brochure from former USA kitcar suppliers Antique and Classic Automotive Inc. It would make a fascinating read and is well worth a look for the pics alone, one of which I have reproduced here.
