I like this comment:

The car is 92% complete

How is that percentage calculated

probably in the same way americans calculate % proof and 10 gallon hats

Lovely little cars but I'd prefer a Matra Djet.
Having said that there is an RB in this country that 'dad' help bring in...

It may be at bromley again this year.

92% complete, just means that the hardest and most expensive 10% is still left to do.
Restoration projects always go over budget.

Matra Djet sport for me...there was a beautiful 1966 white one with blue stripes in a classic car dealer last year and I soooooo wanted it!!!!!!

They have a very narrow track (for good mulsanne speed) which means they don't go round corners as well as an A110... but I stll want one.

these motors always appealled to me, that white and blue djet was too cool, wonder who brought it???

as an aside, when i'v been abroad i've tried to pick up a mag called retro corse that had loads of cool shots of alpines and renault's, djet's, RB's, etc. Does anyone know if you can pick it up over here?

It was for sale for ages....it started out at over 18k and ended up at £12950 I think. I had plans for it next year if it was still available...oh well!!!!
