A really good few hours in the rain,sun,rain,sun with mini and my good friend who lets me drive his car 8) :y :P
I would buy that blue Olympic if he was selling it :)

Excellent , did you have a go in the Mustang :)

Nice.
At least you get to the chiropractor quickly. ;D

It is indeed. :y
For the record....'Motor' magazine road tested the 'new' V12 E-Type in 1971. Top speed 146 MPH......0-60 MPH in 6.4 secs. :y :y
All this performance for just £3212. :y

I wasn't taking the p .... you said you 'think' it's a V12 ....... I said there's a V12 badge - but you'd have had to know what/where it is because you can't read it in the picture. :y

Was not 100% sure, but yeah you can just see the blur where the V is and the 12 inside the V :)

Ooh very nice.. If I won the lottery, one would definitely be on the list of dream cars.
How was it to drive?

A few years earlier my parents paid not much less (about £2500 ..... I think) for their 3 bedroom semi ;) ;)

Nope that was on show, but have driven PAX and SVM in the past, actually followed the Olympic torch out of Rochdale driving SVM

I am informed that it is a MkIII coupe Auto, one of the lesser desired one's but some say the nicest to drive, which it is and the pick up is ACE when you kick down.
The only thing of some age I have driven that had more whooomph was an Aston Martin DBS V8 Vantage. Drove it back from Blackpool in the 80's. Will not state on here what speed we were doing down the M55 but WOW
He's had it about 20 years

The S1 I reassembled two years ago was amazingly uncomfortable, let alone difficult to get in and out of. It was probably about the same as a mate's GT6, but at least that had light controls.
