Nice cars  :y :y :y

Although I'm impressed with the work gone into the Moggy Minor, I just don't like it.

I'd love the Caddy ..... but where do you keep a 20' long car? (apart from a 20' plus long garage  ::) ::))

I think mine would be long enough (stop tittering at the back!  ::)) but you'd have to climb out over the top of the door  ;)

Yep. Me too. I always lusted after an Elan Sprint when I was a kid. :y

126 BHP and about 700kg is none too shoddy today.

Back in 1971 these were quick little cars. :y

On a very even footing with the first S1 Elises, then.. I think the Elan is prettier than the S1, too. Probably rustier underneath, though! ;D

Just get yourself a new chassis from Spydercars. While you're there it'd be rude not to drop in a 200 BHP Zetec. :-*
