See the grass is getting a little longer now... haven't been out there in awhile.

So then this means that you have an early car I guess... Have you inquired about the earliest known Scimitar to still survive?
 
Not sure about the earliest - but they do seem to have very good survival rates. Must have something to do with the fiberglass body. I did notice that it must have been brown at some point and someone deliberatly painted it orange!

I have never seen a scimitar up close like that before. Interesting position for the spare.
 
What is the engine?

So, do you now own it?
 
The new issur of Retro Cars magazine has an article on making them faster and better handling. I have not read it yet.
 
Had to look in the dictionary to confirm the scimitar as the Turkish sword of lore. What a neat model name, not to mention a killer Scrabble word. I often wish that all British cars had been fiberglass. Glass worms are not nearly as voracious as rust worms:smile:

I've owned it for it since April or so. I just haven't got it home yet! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif
