How many donors?
I was thinking about all the different cars i have used various parts from and i was quite amazed at how long the list was.
Jaguar XJ40 (the main donor)
Jaguar XJS (X2)
Jaguar Series 3 XJ6
Jaguar X300 (X2 one was my tintop)
Mini (X2)
Rover (cant remember which)
Rover 25
Ford Sierra
MK Indy
VW Polo
I make that 13 donor cars! Can anyone beat that?
ETA - I just remembered my TR6 wings so make that 14

Too many for a post!
