Wow!

Thanks Marshal, that sounds awesome. I wish I could have been there.

So many cars being nurtured and fettled to entertain us in the coming seasons. That's a truly happy thought.

And my favourite? The thought that a Lagonda DP115 V12 sports car might be up and running again soon. Even with a mirror image dizzy aboard! Those Lagondas were always the pariahs of the fifties sports-racing scene. They just didn't go at all well when they were new, and their last, ignominious public performance was in that awful feature film "Checkpoint".

I trust that with Crossthwaite & Gardener fettling, the Lagonda will join that great tradition of originally unsorted cars that make a glorious, competitive comeback in historic events.

Also great to hear that there are bits being made ready for Nigel Corner's Ferrari. You can't keep a good man down for long.


Thanks once again, Marshal. That was great!
