Still surprises me how 'crisp' it looks now. Later I popped in into the garage next to the E-type and it looked even better.
Then next was to heat the Talbot up while I worked out how to put the bubble on wheels. Eventually I had made this - basically a car chassis.
I then found that it was a bit high to get out of the car port and too wide and too high to get in the garage.
But we managed it eventually - and was it quicker than dismantling it and rebuilding it ? Probably not.
I then took the Talbot around the block in the gloom. Looked stately on the drive though.
It has an surprisingly soft clutch pedal after the Talbot too. Oh and a lot more power.
Finally Google popped up with this picture from 20 years ago.
We don't have the Ginetta any more but the E-Type (and Alpine) are still with us.
Was it really 20 years ago ?
