Re: Floodgates??

So being a calendar page since the new listings have come out and they are now being re-cycled for another month, is anyone in possession of said item or have seen one on display to be able to comment?

Hagerty and Jay Leno

Hagerty ins. bi-monthly issue Mar-Apr 22 has an article by Jay Leno about his relationship with British Cars and he Homes IN on the SP as his by far favorite lesser known car. Boo on the overheating Tiger et all, says he.

Floodgates??

Seems that the old interweb/e-bay is now saturated with the Cult 1/18 scale SP's in three colors at various price points. Is the market that stout? Yes they are less than several 1/43 presentations but what is the quality? What about the old LHD boys market? Sold just as many near about' as I recall.

Re: SP for sale Phoenix

You can still see episodes of "Restoration" with the opening cast of cars that includes that black SP.
When I see my friends Marlin, that "the Guild" also purchased, on the screen I know the Dart is next.
I watch the program just for that bit of a smile.

Re: Additional oil pressure gauge

There are flexible braided s/s oil pressure gauge lines sold by Summit Racing and Jeggs as well as Stewart Gauges that are more reliable than nylon lines. That's what I use, mine is from Summit they are around $30.00 or so.
