Michael,
Thank you for the pictures. Beautiful. Beautiful.
I'm in Ohio. I think it would make very sad to be near those beautiful
vehicles.
I notice your two are right hand drive.
What would be the lowest cost one could buy one? The smallest engine would
be fine. (I'm not personally cheap: it's more a question of two dogs and a
wife.)
When I lived in England I had a friend who built one in kit form in his
father's garage.
Michael
