westie

Got something to say, but it's not classic related? Here's the place to discuss. Also includes the once ever-so-popular word association thread... (although we've had to start from scratch with it - sorry!)

I, and no doubt tens of thousands of others, entered a competition to win it several years ago. Wonder if they've still got our entries? The car was at the NEC the year before last, still being worked on.

He didn't sell it , he swapped it for an MGB V8. It will be coming over to France in June for the Bagheera 40th anniversary celebrations, along with a convoy of other UK Matras.

Come on Rich, make your mind up. Is the kettle always on or do you only put it on when guests are within 300km ;)
