that was my pride and joy,not many v reg f7’s about with a 16 speed box in it at the time,it made it 5 mile an hour faster than a normal f7.

It looks a bit better here

check your load after his handywork.

Many shots taken at Normans Cafe but nearly all the same firms, you must have a mass of shots in your possesion but how about some of the ones who were there night in and night out and are now no more. The MOD used to park there on their way to Leeds or Newcastle for tanks and others with only one or two motors, o/d’s and small time firms, a lot now gone see what you can dig up cheers.
