    Love the period details, you and Trev certainly know how to finish a car

    Power steering though? Was that really needed on 13's?

    I have found a few old photos of EDH6H.
    Hoping to take them to Fridgeman tomorrow.
    When I can work out how to add photos I will post some here (given up in frustration...)

    Fantastic Mark!
    And can I say what a brilliant job you have done restoring the car to a better condition than when I owned it...
    Driving it again after all these years was absolutely brilliant!
    Many thanks

    They look like they have been with an old dymo labeller. It had blank tape which you spun a wheel around with the letters on then pulled a trigger to press the letter in.

    Re: Fridgemans Twin Cam called "marmite"

    Hi Mark, I have just bought your Twin Cam. I have to say what a fantastic job you have done with this car. My intention is to use it on some Historic Tarmac rally events and European Legends events in 2022. I'd really appreciate a chat with you about the car if you wouldn't mind getting in touch?
    I started Rallying back in the 70's and have been competing ever since. I think this might be my last competition car and one to keep!
