Hi Danny,
Great finds!
The V12 project looks interesting, although I imagine buying an unfinished project like that could spell trouble. Hopefully somebody will see the work through to the end though.

Ah - check the pictures - the cockpit has gone upside down. Common fault.

Can't say I' suprised, that lump is huge!

And this is the very reason I always check ebay, some great finds to be found there :lol:
Would love to see it get finished, could be very interesting!

It used to happen on the old works Capris in the 70s... you'd be WOT then BAM, cockpit goes upside down because of the torque.
