No to the meet, maybe to Gaydon-otherwise I’ll bring my R8. I’ve just had the 75 fully resprayed, the Serpents refurbished and fitted a full set of new old stock chrome exterior trims, so it would be nice to get it out at some point!

It's not my fault Dave if you can't drive at more than 40mph

You're right Steve, I have, although 2.5 V6 Wedgwood Blue only.

Just saw this post as I haven’t been on in a while for various reasons. I have two launch cars. Both 2.5’s. One is on a T plate (built 6th May 99) and the other on a V plate built two weeks later. The V plate one was registered to Rover for its first two years and has Longbridge Special Vehicles Department stamped in the service book. It’s currently SORN. So is that now eight?
