Vintage, PVT & 2 Litre Forum / LX820 In the Cemetery!!!
« on: January 20, 2015, 17:56:40 »
I've just come across an article written in 1997 that includes a picture of the car in "The Cemetery" in Sao Paulo.
   
   If you look at the photograph caption it Reads "Grave Sight: Bodies in Sao Paulo include this Ferrari 212 or is it a 250S?". So it was mistaken for a Ferrari, but it's definitely LX820. We always refer to it as "The Barchetta" as it must have been a copy of the Ferrari as it is so similar.
   
   I thought there maybe someone who would like to see it. Another small amount of history to add to the cars file.

   And finally how it's taking shape.
   
   It's been an incredibly long haul, but we are getting slowly closer to the end. The filler plastered all over the front was later used as the basis for a respray by previous renovators!. We ended up completely removing the body which has now been fully renovated by Shaun Rush of ASR and it's looking really nice. Hopefully on the home straight.

A lovely weekend in Sussex.
   
   Well done to Mike and his family and all that were involved. The weekend was a credit to you all, and it wasn't as damp as I expected it to be!

General Forum / A new member from Nigeria????
« on: November 17, 2010, 10:25:52 »
I've been approached by a member with a once in a lifetime opportunity, and fear that others may well have been approached as well.
   
   This is the email I recieved this morning.
   
   
   Hello REV
   
   You received the following message from: geo123 (george_manda01@yahoo.fr)
   
   At: http://www.acownersclub.co.uk/forum/
   
   Hello
   
   My name is Mr.George Manda. Please kindly allow me to inform you about this
   deal which I have been wrapping up for years now, and which I will love
   to do with you as it is the reason why I have contacted you. Although
   this proposal may come to you as a suprise, but I would want you to
   understand that this deal is 100% legal and risk free, though it
   requires confidentiality. What I need from you is trust and your honest
   coperation for us to execute this project for our benefit only.If you
   really believe in deal, get back to me or give me a call on my private
   telephone number for details. I await your urgent response.
   
   Have my best regards.
   Mr.George Mand
   +22545903362
   
   Strangely George can't spell his own surname at the bottom of the letter.
   
   I have never been one to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I would suggest that George's letter is ignored if you have also been a lucky recipient!

One of the things I'd like to do with my car is remove the leather rolled edge around the cabin. The back section definitely and the front maybe. My car is now 26 years old and the rear section of the leather is looking very old and tired.
   
   I dont suppose anyone has a picture of what is under there? I'm sure that there isn't anything insurmountable but it would be really nice to know before I take it apart that there are no surprises! If anyone has done the job please let me know!
   
   As a further thought it would be great to see pictures and ideas of what everyone has done to there cars as improvements. I'm sure that there would be loads of interest as the Cobra is not only the most replicated car, but the MKIV must also be one of the most altered cars. Dash, roll bars, engines, wing mirrors, braking systems, and general upgrades. You only have to look at Peter from Germany (dkp-cobra's postings) to see that we all love to lay hands on cars and see whats under the surface. His must have been the most viewed posting in AC owners club website history.
   
   So what are the "Upgrades" that you've made that you feel have been worthwhile, and maybe not such a good idea! I think that it would promote real discussion and maybe enthuse us all a little. Humour extremely welcome.
   
   For me my biggest upgrade or improvement has been fitting a 60's dash. Now I do understand that this may to some be akin to defiling a grade 2 listed building, but for me its how the car should have been made in the first place. You can also see my roll bar in this pic. I also realise that loads of cars have had this done, but for me it was just the start of my journey, and I'm sure thats the case for many others as well......
   
   What do you think?
