Pics of ole blue

I don't remember those wheels, mate.

...but I'm *old* now.


Thanks fer postin' those!!

I don't wanna offend the purists here.... but there are a ton of mods besides the wheels that are not visible.

If you think there are "purists" here, you ain't read enuff!

Ooooooook, was just going by the reactions to ditching points and condenser and leaving the bronze axes behind...

Mods are:

1700 stroker TC with balance and blueprint, race prepped rods, forged pistons and big main caps, baffled sump, 40 mm Dell'Ortos, 4-2-1 headers and full stainless exhaust. Ported cylinder head from ex C Prod national champ Europa. Modified airbox cover.

Ultra close ratio trans with Kelvedon quick shifter, 3.90 rear diff and CV axles.

TTR FIA spec 26R chassis, fully adjustable front and rear tubular arms, front ride height adjustable Spax with uprated anti roll bar, rear Konis with ride height adjustable small ID springs.

26R replica wheels and spinners, custom made to fit stock hubs.

Safety Devices roll bar, Fuel Safe cell, completely Aeroquipped fuel linesand 26r steering wheel.

Memory is fading, getting a headache form thinking about the cost.

A far different car than the pix I posted, then.

I've indigestion just READIN' the list!

I saw the Dell'Orto's and thought: "THAT ain't what I remember..."


And a LOT of shiny bits wot weren't there to begin with, either!

Aluminum polishing is a self taught sickness, lol.

"Winter" seems to help a lot... I recall sitting in front of th' TeeVee, snow falling outside the windows and rubbing for hours.

I thought it was a Sewickley thing!

You've a "PM"!

Went to a car show some years ago. Saw those nice polished Jag cam covers, and decided that was for me.

The one on the car is actually the third one that I have done, it has benefitted from experience.

"Practice, practice, practice!"

Have you by any chance ever had the car at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix in 2005? I recall seeing the car there, or at least something very similar. Hope to have my Elan there this year

I attend the PVGP almost every year, hope to see you and your car there!

LP: Have you the "0-60" times?

I'm just curious. Can imagine the RicerBois get a surprise...
