Then my friend needed to store his Fiat van temporally, yes the one @Christine brokered for us on the Forum. The clutch now works great but it is still short of synchromesh on most gears.

TADT, S.  At least the 2.8D is a torquey old lump so you don't need to change gear too often.

It is a car, sat on its factory wheels as normal.

Too low for an Amphicar..Spitfire,  GT 6 ?     

[High Jetter]

It is very, very low - compared with the Rangie's wheelarch.

[Christine]

 

I don't like Smarties anyway ..

Gis a clue , what letter is on the lid of the Smarties ?  Is it the same letter the name of the car  starts with ?

I thought about this GRS kit car recently, started a conversation with the seller and then he wanted to increase his asking price so I left it there.

[Christine]

A Ginetta G12 team Autoshite race car🤞🏽

That recessed headlight bowl at that angle seems really familiar and I feel that I really ought to know it...but I'm just going round in circles without getting anywhere near any certainty.

Initially thought Triumph GT6, but the bonnet bulge is missing and the nose isn't pointy enough.
