One off the bucket list to cheer me up in lockdown.

The best bit.

Not had this out for a while. It's not so much fun when the weather's shite.

I had one of these as my first car back in 1979 and missed it, so when this one came up earlier this year i purchased it to restore for when i retire, it even has all its old tax discs going back to 1970..

Cool. Remember to drive it through a pile of empty cardboard boxes. Pretending your escaping cops circa 1972

I don't do cars but if i won the lottery i would do my licence to get me one of these.

I remember sitting in the actual John Wyer Gulf GT49 that won Le Mans in the sixties, 1966 or 67 I think. Somehwere I have a picture, I'll try and find it.

Very nice. Gen 2. Sweet spot...

Not as rare or exotic as some of the cars posted so far but this is my current ‘weekend’ toy when not out on a bike. Was going to sell it as I’d only done about 300 miles this year but it looks like that’s a lot compared to some here so I think I’ll hang onto it and see if I get more use of it next year.

Those MX-5 are meant to be good

Is Ladywell a euphemism, like Lady Garden or similar?

Never throw coins into a lady well. Especially ones heated up with a lighter.

No, its bang in the middle of Lewisham .... sunny SE13 at its finest .....

Dare I? Oh go on then?

When we moved here 10 years ago the 911 was sold but so the wrong car for here, but this little one we kept
