This is going to be a car that we all need to see in the flesh to appreciate the attention to detail that's going into the build

Thanks pal. Glad you approve

Use it?! I guess I'd better get that engine and gearbox sorted, eh?!

Thanks for the positive feedback, Ken. I hope to take the car to PVS and Billing this year (with a European road trip squeezed between the two). Watch this space!

It looks even better now that the Irmscher rear wing is in place. Pics to follow

Im hoping to be at Billing this year so will have a wander over if you take it.. I dont do PVS or the Euro trip that I think it might be, but a couple of mates will be going as they enjoyed it last year...

The European road trip is one that Mrs Humbucker and I have had planned since I bought the car way back in 2010. Unfortunately (as far as the trip is concerned), we moved house and had a lot of upheaval regarding our jobs etc., meaning that the MV6 was thrown into storage until we were settled again. A lot of work on our new home followed, and the car was left to collect dust until I hauled it out of hibernation last year. I'm supposed to be doing another road trip in August (in one of my Cavalier Turbos) with my colleagues at Retro Cars magazine, but the MV6 will be hitting the 'Ring well in advance of that outing!

Is it not Osch that you will be going to...?

The couple of mates that go every year usually do the 'ring on the way home and spend a couple of days there...

Nope, just a road trip / holiday with the missus (via the Green Hell, hehe!).

Just don't do what the dude who won 'Project Thunder' in MaxPower donkeys ago did and put it through a chip shop window! 

Very interesting read mate.  What will we do when all the Omegas are gone?
