Of course Paul, but which of the 3?

It's got to be the 75 Cliff, like yours

Oh heck, got me thinking about Serpents again!!

Looks great Paul, but just one observation: surely you (of all people) should have a club grill badge fitted.

Cliff

P.S. Is that your house in the background?

Reebs · 24th June 2014, 20:09

No, it's the garden shed

As for Grille Badges, there are none to be had ATM, of course I'd have to get three

My wife now wants to move in to your garden shed!!

BTW, you pic demonstrates what I said in my OP re photo taking skills - you should have the calendar cover pic sewn up with that shot.

Edit: just seen your location - I presume you worked at MEXE in Christchurch?

Hi sorry about late reply.
I didn't work at MEXE but did some bridging there when I was in the Army. Nor did I work at FVRDE but way back in 1980/81 I did some driver training there and got roped in for a trial. One of the most remarkable places I have ever seen. They could quite literally produce any vehicle from the plan stage to the prototype.

BTW I love your car, not much to say the car speaks for itself, perfect.

Regards

I worked at what was FVRDE from '75 (appropriate!) until '97 (when it was DERA). Quite sad to see it now. I'ts currently being used as a film studio, but is in the process of being sold off for housing.
