Oooo, I want this...
It's the Grandfather of my latest project...
Falcon
Competition
The only thing I don't like is the colour - apologies to all owners of Mariner Blue MX-5s but I've never liked it.
Also, to call it original seems a bit "Trigger's Broom" to me.

It's gorgeous, but it does seem an awful lot of money for what you get!
I agree on the colour, I think red would suit it best.

I just looked and all I could think was one slip when changing gear and you could punch that fire button and dump your extinguisher everywhere! 
That seems an odd place to put it to me!

I always wonder at what point people stop classing cars as original. This is listed as the last 1963 car yet it had a new chassis a couple of years
ago. Very little of the spec is original so how can it be the last 63 car?? Same story with old rally cars and the like "genuine ex works car
recent reshell and new engine". So basically it's just got the ex works cars ID p*ss all else.

Both very nice.
I like that blue, though it makes it look French.
I'm curious about something, it (The blue one) apears to have doors which just seems a bit of a waste of time to me.
In a White Room, With Black Curtains, By the Station.

Yes - the Falcon body shell does have doors - as does the Autotune Gemini. The factory have suggested that they can be bonded in place by the GRP
supplier. Sounds like a plan to me...
