PM sent Thanks, -Don.

A dreadful thing... I knew it was a Fairthorpe (founder was Air Vice Marshall Donald Clyfford Tyndall Bennet, CB, CBE, DSO) but the Electron that it was based on didn't have all the hideous fibreglass and plop all over it - and sure enough it's a reincarnation from the 80's masterminded by his son, Torix. It was designed to fit a V8. I'm not making this up.... Thankfully this particular one only has a 2.3 litre Ford V6 in it. Thanks, -Don.

pm sent Thanks Michael, -Don.

Depends where you look, but I dredged the manufacturers name from the dark corners of my memory after a few days trying not to think about it!

Too much information, Mike! Cheers, -Don.

Yes! but I'm with the great Oscar Wilde: 'I never forget a face - but in [this] case I'm prepared to make an exception.' -Don.

I know roughly what it is, but there's something about this one that makes me not sure of the exact model variation / year. Really curious. Good old barge though, rather have one of these than any SUV!

Like that rusty 'Vette someone here built a while back! So how did you do it? Looks good.

No worries, I think I had a sense of humour failure! I'm usually pretty good with irony... Cheers,, -Don.

Bill! I really like your take on things and like to read your posts on many topics - but 'it was a girl's car, so I guess that kinda figures...and for its new role in life, it needs to be something anybody can drive.' - I have to disagree with that. My older sister hung out with the rockers in the 60s, her boyfriend rode a Triumph Bonneville and she rode pillion. She rode bikes herself and owned a load of cars from a Messerschmitt Kabinenroller through a couple of GTV Alfas and a BMW 2002 to a 535i. None of them had an auto, I don't think she can drive one (same as me). She's quicker than most even now. All generalisations are untrue. Cheers, -Don. -

True words, Bill. Like you I'm looking forward to doing more of the things I want to do rather than have to do, I just can't seem to work out how to get there right now. But I'll stick around because I'm keen to see what happens! Cheers, -Don.

That Fury is mean. Thanks for posting.

PM sent, I learnt a few things about these cars along the way, thanks! -Don.

I sent a pm on Tuesday but it's showing under my messages as not read yet... Can you see it? Cheers, -Don.

Nice. So how long is that beauty?

So no parking tickets then! Good to see these cars out and about in Germany.

Hopefully they're parked rather better too!

Makes sense - good thinking, Greg!

Hi Bill I like the third one 'cos I always think 'daily driver?'! -Don.

My brother in law owned one of these but never got it running. So I recognised it instantly but not sure about the exact model

Love the Allard with luggage strapped on the side!

I knew this one, just left it too late to send in the answer! It's a late one with the big vents behind the wheels. So fame has eluded me this time Well done guys!

Nice. Are the stripes painted or transfers / decals? -Don.

All I can say is it looks better from the front! PM sent
