Carisma Century Speedo
I've just listed my spare Carisma Century Speedo on EBay number 160566695181. This is obviously very rare as they were specially made for Carisma. Apparently, Speedy Cables can completely refurbish and recalibrate it. I'm hoping it finds a Carisma owner and have started the listing at £14.99Andy ocheye@mac.com

Bare naked lady in Carlisle
It's been a while since I posted but my 'lady' has been stripped right back for a respray. I've put the wings and front valance back on loosely for transport to the paint shop where she is heading on Monday. After ages deliberating on the colour and buying various sample aerosols and pre painting panels I have finally decided on - Old English White. Yes, pretty much the same as before! I even resprayed an SS100 model in OEW to make comparisons with the green I was considering (I really should get out more). Fingers crossed that it is a good spray job and that I manage to get her back together without incident!

My dear Lady in Red, has to be sold as I may be moving soon where I cannot find parking for her. I will sell her reluctantly as she has been the most desirable car I have ever owned. I am asking £12,000 plus all the extras I bought but did not fit yet, i.e. extra badge bar, brookland windshields, and the metal parts of an old MG windscreen which can fold, but needs replating etc. She has full weather gear and a current MOT, and is very economical in fuel. Anyone interested please e-mail me at john.williams13@hotmail.com for more details.

Don't believe everything you see on EBay....
Firstly a set of seat covers for a Jaguar SS100 - mmm, a nice set in biscuit coloured hide would make a lovely
Christmas present - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Jaguar-SS-100-roadster-SEAT-COVERS-SETS-7-EMAIL-COLOR-/130416717479?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e5d712ea7#ht_3796wt_1167
Second up is a fridge magnet with a pic of a 1940 Jaguar SS100 - I don't think - http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1940-Jaguar-SS-100-Classic-Car-Magnet-/120621436476?pt=Apparel_Merchandise&hash=item1c15990e3c#ht_673wt_1167
Third is a picture of an SS100 with a "Submarine" Spitfire (not a periscope in sight)
and finally the 'piece de resistance' - the following car was advertised as an SS100 replica:
Have a great Christmas and a happy and prosperous 2011.

Flying Scotsman 2011
Whilst visiting The Endurance Rally Association's website http://www.endurorally.com/fscot2011/index.html I came across this lovely painting of an SS100 racing the 'Flying Scotsman'. I hope they don't mind me reproducing it here. Their site is well worth a visit as this rally will be stacked full of fantastic vintage machinery heading from Brooklands to Edinburgh 1/4/11 - 3/4/11. It looks like it will be passing close by to me so I hope I will get the chance to see them. Maybe there will be a '100' or two taking part

A brand new 'Duke' on EBay
A brand new "Duke " SS100 replica is up for sale on EBay in the US.
It is still in kit form but is an amazing opportunity with a starting price of $3600. It seems to be a comprehensive kit only lacking the engine and gearbox.
