  1. I used to have a 626 identical to that apart from the engine - it was a 2.0 litre GT.  Great load-carrier but very bland and boring.  I traded it for a hooligan SAAB 9000 2.3 full-pressure turbo (200bhp of turbo-lag, throttle-lag and transmission-lag) that tried to kill me on several occasions but I loved it!

  2. :post1: from the other side of the South!  I was brought up in Devon (Exeter and Exmouth) and still regard it as Home.  I've only been here a year or two but have really benefited from it so I'm sure you will too.

     Neddy,   That MG TF might be one of the Auto Kits range?    It is the only TF kit I can think of but their range is in 1/24th.

    Don't forget that Tamiya did a Mk2 Jaguar saloon too.

    K&R replicas have been around for a long time now and better known probably by 1/43rd enthusiasts than 1/24th sale builders.

    You're right, it's 1/24 scale.  I had to dig it out of the display cabinet to check it - it's been there so long the tyres were stuck to the shelf!

  4. Thanks Chris, I never knew they existed and they're only half an hour's drive away from me.  The chance to build a 1/24 Mk II Jaguar has got me thinking about raiding the piggy-bank, I haven't built a white metal kit for over half a century.  I've still got a 1/32 MG TF I built back in the day but don't ask me what make, I haven't a clue!

    Now here's a real rarity.  Prices on auction sites vary from £30 to £75 but whether they sell for it is a different story!  - £25

     

     

  6. That's the thing about T-Bucket and similar hot-rod kits, they're basically very simple anyway and so open they all just cry out for creative improvement.  You can use one as a base and do your own thing with it.  Whether I'll be able to bring myself to do that with my next build is another matter - Ed Roth's Tweedy Pie is so famous and iconic in itself I'll probably keep it OOB apart from detailing as who would want to try and improve on the Master's work?  I don't think I'd have the temerity.
