Thank Joe! -Don.

I always wondered when the monster first appeared in the film - someone shouted 'Godzilla!' How did they know it's name?

A car with no redeeming features - overbodied, underpowered and fit only for posing on the promonade, As I mentioned to Michael, the Vintage Sports Car Club was formed in the thirties for enthusiasts of proper motor cars such as Bentleys, Lagondas and Bugattis as a reaction to cars like this. In no way related to the fabulous 1934 Triumph Dolomite, a twin-cam 8 cylinder near copy of an 8C Alfa Romeo:

Great modelling! Here's what she became...

Hi Russel To my twisted mind that means you can do the interior and engine in the way you think best and nobody will have any evidence to dispute it!? It'll still be a great model and if it captures the spirit of the 1:1 then job done! Cheers, -Don.

Hi Aaron I'm glad this got bumped recently as it is lovely and I missed it first time around! My immediate thought to your reservations about the front bumper was - why not lose it completely and smooth out the front just as you've done at the rear? Either way it looks great. -Don.

And here it is, nice launch.

Agreed. ?

I never thought to try this but your results are excellent. Old skool Photoshop.

I always understood it was to route the propshaft alongside the seat, allowing the driver to sit lower in the car. The pre-war P3 Alfa Romeo racer had twin propshafts in a V layout, I beleive for the same reason.

I can. It's hard to miss!

Oh, that's lovely! Cute and vicious at the same time.

I happen to know this one so very easy for me. Thanks Michael, -Don.

I like it a lot. But why 'roadster'?

That's what a proper Grand Prix car looks like! Fabulous model.

I always loved the Koach. I built one myself years ago and still have it on prominent display. Yours looks good, I wouldn't have noticed the decals if you hadn't mentioned it.

Well, now I know. Thanks. Not one of Zagato's better efforts!

I've lost a few Swiss army knives at customs, I only remember that I always carry one when it's too late!

It needs a 427! Nice looker.

Great model!

Looks good! It captures the spirit of the show!

When I was at school in the 6th form my friend Michael Eccleston drove one of these, it had a Ford 1600 engine in place of the original rotary. We were 18 at the time, his Dad was in the motor trade. I rode in it quite a few times. We had no idea what it would be worth one day! This was 1975/6.

Anyone remember this advert from the 1970s? For some reason it was banned...? Also this - backwards writing on the air dam so the driver of the car you're about to overtake can see it in the rear view mirror: I do use my headlight flasher a lot on motorways on those people who hog the outside lane for no reason. My current daily driver BMW is green - and I'm 62!

Agreed, keep it going please.

On how keen you are to snap your spine and break your teeth? ☺️
