.... I popped in to Alton today to get another pot of emulsion <grr, decorating!> and spotted a Bond Bug. 8)

I see one every time I go in my garage, sadly it'll be a while till you ever see it on the road.v :-[ :-[ :-[

Still looking for that Hayabusa engine?  :D

Only 395 kg though.
One of the reasons the chassis is tissue thin so easily rusts though  :(

..... Got it up to 90, apparently, t....
The speed does go to 100mph ............ but only for the very brave.  ;D

I do like those Jaguar straight 6 engines when they're all polished up. 8) They sound good too. Would have to put it into a car that's slightly less of a barge though. :-X

They sound even better with a supercharger on it too.... unfortunately my dad's is on bricks until we find a kit and the enthusiasm to lpg it ::)

If you need a Sequential then the Stag kit will do it, just need to check on the reducer ;) May have to do a little modification to the petrol return system to make it work properly too ;)

Whatever it is... I didn't do it

Once I get mine fully sorted I'll speak to him about it next weekend when I visit oop north (Daz watch out)

Of course the conversion will take several months to complete and in that time it'll have to stay chez Guffer  ::)

You could have the real McCoy one of the real McCoys.

And those white walled tyres are just the finishing touch it needed. :-*
