scannon Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I stopped by a race car restoration and repair shop today to have a visit with Nathan Down, formally of RSMC and CC. I walked into the shop to be confronted by a beautiful C type undergoing some mechanical sorting and repairs. Nathan said this was the last C type built. It belongs to Steve Earle who is the founder of the Monterey Classics at Laguna Seca. That's Nathan in the background. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/67604711_DSCN0044.jpg http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/787052054_DSCN0040.jpg The rear clip is hanging on the wall and I forgot to get a picture of it. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1596465870_DSCN0041.jpg http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/2112224549_DSCN0042.jpg http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1962761042_DSCN0043.jpg This one is a little out of focus, sorry about that. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/760673281_DSCN0046.jpg This is an XK 120 engine, in the backgound is a Cad Allard JX2. http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1434637343_DSCN0047.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Even the puddle underneath the car looks period correct John - While scrolling down, even before seeing your post, I saw the puddle and instantly thought, "That puddle is unrealistically small"!

stevet Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 While we're on the subject... my mate's D type (old photo, has been restored since then). Brooklands, leather helmets and googles - and triple Webers - explains why I have no hair :yesnod: http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/849428204_petes d type140.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
