The sound of those Merlins purring away :lol:

I can't wait to see AND hear her :thumbs:

Best of luck, peeps ;)

Paddyboy :clap:
I agree with this comment entirely, when all is said and done it's the merlin's noise first and crucial , followed by the beautiful shape, real or replica.Surely even a replica will be a quality item not a 'fibreglass kit car' equivalent, e.g. Focke Wulf and Messerschmitt new build replicas look very original to my eye.

Thanks, I'll have a watch later.
In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig.
