That looks very smart - nice colour.

Are you going to fit floats for the main roads in Venice?

(only joking - I know that a large part of modern Venice is on dry land!)

cheers,
David

Looks very nice indeed. A classic British sports car!

Nice car,

Do have to register in GB first?

Or can you register the vehicle in Italia?

Good luck with the finishing part.

We are thinking of visiting Venice but its a long way from where we are staying in Lazio (1 1/2 hours drive north of Rome) but i did drive 5 hours to get to Maranello last year. We might get the train. I love Italy cant wait to get back

Hi Rudy,
Very nice looking car, I think your son wishes he was old enough to drive the toy of his dad.
You're almost at the end of the tunnel...
And what do you think, will you ever start another project in the future?
ciao-JP

Hope thats not disrespect! SWMBO is Italian. Hope me and my boys don't have to pay you a visit I am only 40 mins away from you


You got me and i promised myself i would lose weight for this year :

Its not just the pole i bent there i also walked into a Ferrari Enzo and bent the mirror back in the Galleria Ferrari

Hey friends,
thakyou for the positive feedback, you make me happy!

tgr-ecoesse, yes venice is very far from lazio, glad you like italy and hope to came to UK soon

t.j. and gergely, I will register car in italy, but it is very difficult and expensive, next car (maybe) I would register in UK.

mangogrooveworkshop, I am sure you like my windscreen uprights

JP, I think I will build another car in future, my wife likes cobra replica, so next one could be a cobra, however now i want to enjoy driving my avon for minium one year.

Ciao at all Rudy
