    Sadly, over the years I’ve loved them they’ve gone from ‘realistically out of my price range unless I remortgage’ to ‘I should coco!’

    Yes, a fabulous car. My college tutor had one and I helped him changed the starter on it; not a lot of space when you've crammed a Corvette motor into a relatively small car. Well out of my league too, I'm afraid.

    crikey! I had to mot history check this to find out what car it is. I then had to search for one for sale to find out the prices :eek::eek: I would never have guessed it would be so much! Why are they worth so much? Their rally heritage, or the rarity?

    Rarity, racing history, first of the Skyline GT-R family so very desirable to wealthy Japanese collectors.

    Have always coveted these but.... apart from being out of my budget for the last 40 odd years, I'm dimensionally incompatible with any of Colin Chapman's creations:(

    would you believe it but I’ve just seen a very similar car on the back of a breakdown truck in Banbury, Oxon!! It was a J reg but on a busy road that I couldn’t stop to take a photo. If it wasn’t a Skyline it was v v similar and was silver too.

  12. Ah Captain Lockheed and the starfighters, although after this amount of time I could be wrong
     
  13. They certainly killed a few Luftwaffe pilots in their time…

  14. A quick check shows the Luftwaffe lost 292 out of 916 aircraft, resulting in the death of 116 pilots:eek:

    No wonder the called it "the Widowmaker".....
