Just wanted to start a thread for photos. All photos are welcome but particularly I would love to see 60-70's photos with some car stars and celebs.....

That was back in the day of film camera was a canon T90.

I'm abit better at taking photos these days though no thumbs in the way and such like.

I still know where the car is but is not harvest gold anymore though frown

Indeed we do squire.... meant to post a different pic of the wee beastie but the 2MB file limit had me stumped!

There are a few shots of it 'as bought' in this set on my flickr pages ;o)

I still think it looks quite cute on the original 3.5" steel wheels but the tyres on them were at least ten years old, since I needed a new set I thought I may as well buy the wheels I wanted at the same time. It'll need new wings and a rear valance before next winter, plus the Mk3 bootlid needs replacing with a proper Mk2 one, but other than that it's a good 'un.

It's a lovely example, hope and trust you have a lot of fun with it.

I need to get my GT on the road again. I got it in October '10, and as usual time, lack of light and more time have precluded me from working on it as much as I'd have liked over the winter. It'd been restored and then stored back in the early 90s, so while it is complete and thankfully rot free, it needs a good recommissioning - all the runny and bendy things replaced, I want to lift the head to take a looksee and perhaps the bottom end too. Hopefully should be ready for use in the summer, but I could do with some more photos as well...and a few dry weekends to get it out an play with. I'm missing having a Mini to hoon around in!

However, would like to get the Min out of the garage this weekend but there's a - shhh, don't tell anyone - caravan in the way...
