SL should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Thanks everyone, look out for it at a circuit near you soon. Definate for LM and Goodwood 2004 anyway

I must admit I was impressed with Runnymede from the start. The cars they had there were very well presented, loads of Aston's as well, one day maybe. (Also same car in their ad in Nov 2001 issue, spot the differance !)

One thing that was very obvious is how much cars have changed in 20-30 years. Going from a '96 Nissan to a '70 E Type which has no A/C, no power steering, no fancy electrics, heater is by lever and cable, brakes that don't seem to work, 4 speed's etc. OK not every car has these now but in it's time the Jag was quite a luxury car.

However I liked opening the bonnet to see a real engine, with 3 huge carb's and a small oil leak . Not a sterile plastic sheathed compartment with port for a computer.

I'll get a few photo's hosted as soon as possible.
