A few more of Jason's, probably 2005.The Honeysuckle 1300 is still about I believe, the Mk.1 2000 estate ended up at the Mildenhall pre-70 around 2012.

A few snaps my mate Peter took in and around Colchester circa 1980. He's a bit of a fan of 100Es as you can probably tell.

Well, I haven't updated this for a while.. Luckily some more old snaps came to light whilst moving so here we are. Not in any sort of chronological order. 

Cresta was FGK421C, the Victor was GRT937J. The Victor was raced at Mildenhall in about 2008 or so, no idea what happened to the Cresta but doubt it survives. 

 

 

HAH331N, an Avenger Sunseeker. Only recently found out that these were available in 2 or 4 door with the colour unique to each. Photos from about 2000,another which probably isn't still around.

Some more from about 2002. ANO803F (about as base as they came, a 3-speed manual on the column and a bench seat) might still be about, reckon the other two are containing beans or chilling food nowadays. Seeing these again has awoken a long-forgotten memory of trying to buy the Cosmics from GLN, can't recall how I didn't end up with them now.

This had a ridiculously low chassis number and must have been from the first few days of production. It came from a banger driver in Merseyside who'd tried selling it on the Farina forum a couple of times before posting a last chance before I race it advert,to his credit he was happier to rehome it than to kill it off. It was a bit tender, but not as bad as those dreadful grp front wings make it look. Sold off to someone in Scotland in about 2012 (I think) and never heard of again.

And finally for now, Moskvitch 427 OPA492L, which was sold for restoration to a chap who didn't seem to mind such trivia as a cracked roof, and a dreadful Series 1 XJ, FNO829H,which was killed off at a Foxhall Spedeweekend in 2010.
