If Nick manages to get an MoT, then brings it up to mine as he's running it in, you could always take some then

Nice pics catboy.

Looks like you've got enough gear there to go and nick some blaggers!

 

[grifterkid]

Simply awesome...!!!!!!!!!!

Mr. Catboy's car should gain an MOT tomorrow. Photos to follow. I have now driven her on the road and can only say that all the hard effort was well worth it, fabulous drive.

 

[grifterkid]

Superb, I cannot wait to see some more snaps of this glorious car... I am both smitten with it and fascinated by it!

I hope the MOT goes smoothly, good luck :wink:

 

[catboy]

She has an MOT!

Tax tomorrow then the shakedown starts.

Not long now, then I get my hands on her

Highly delighted, this has been a long job with a lot of twists and turns. The car drives superbly.

Will get some photos in next couple of days.

The Guvnor finally got a taxed today and has enjoyed another good drive about.

Twenty years between tax discs.

Very nice! One of those P6s that just 'looks right'

 

[Johnny E]

Looks an absolute cracker. Any chance of a video?

 

[catboy]

Thanks guys,

When I get her will post some pics and try and do a video.

Superb car and fantastic work Nick & Co!

Catboy and ChrisW, if you're looking for a suitable backdrop for some nostalgic photos you could try the Cemex HQ building in the centre of Rugby, just opposite the town hall, (it used to be owned by Rugby Portland Cement).... I've taken loads of shots of my classics there in recent years. If you do give it a whirl it's probably best to do it on a Sunday morning as the car park is often coned off for private parking during the week... word is that it's due to be demolished as soon as Cemex have found another site for their operations...











The nice thing about this location is you can photograph it from lots of different angles with ease. I'm planning on getting some fresh pics of my '68 Cooper S when it comes back from it's fourteen month long resto in a week or two!

Nidge :wink:

 

[catboy]

Thanks Nidge

Just the place I've been looking for

Great P5 by the way!

 

[Three Thousand Five]

No problem mate, it's easy to find, if you're coming into town off the M6 / M1 area it'll be right in front of you opposite the roundabout at the top of Newbold Road when you reach the town centre :wink:

P5 is currently tucked up in the garage awaiting repairs to the exhaust :roll:

Nidge :wink:

(Love your 3500S by the way, that colour is fantastic. A mate of mine has a '78 DS1 2600 in Avocado... gorgeous colour!)

 

[grifterkid]

This is just such a superb car, just SUPERB :shock:

I can see this being in a few mag's due to it wonderful condition and unique (are there any others out there?!) history so get ready for fame and fortune...!!!

More pictures as soon as possible please... :wink:
