I think Renzo’s plan is to keep his Jubilee in the UK until he can bring his family over for next year’s Nationals.

It will depend on where if Chris Wilson will go. I know he used to drive to Peterborough and stay with friends. Then there is yours, and Lorenzo's if it is still in the UK. God knows where the others are.
Well mine has just recently been moved again to it’s new sick bay for treatment! (Engine!) ImageImage so hopefully I can get my old original one rebuilt over winter and pop it in. ImageImage

Estate is out and jubilee is in. Image

That would be great as I don't think there has been an event with 3 Jubilees yet. Had 2 a few times.
Like your Garage Fruity, If you can just transport the garage here I would be most grateful :thumbup:

Had a nice drive back to South Yorkshire after a week in North Wales. Clocked up about 600 miles including a couple of runs over the Llanberis and the Nant Francon passes. Probably the hardest for both car and driver was a trip from Caenarfon to Harlech via the A4085 which is a narrow and twisting road with some steep hairpin bends.

Finally reassembled the complete new rear bumper for tara, what a difference the new bumpers make.

Need to rebuild the front suspension soon too and fit my telescopics

Cheers Barry, yes that would've been at Criccieth on the promenade. As we got there what looked like a local Mini club were just leaving, including a cool Metro with wide wheels.
The next beach along, Black Rock sands, people drive onto the beach to park, I'm not sure I'd like to park the Marina on the beach, imagine all the sand sticking to the grease on the front suspension.
Might be good to recreate the original "Beauty with Brains Behind it" Marina advert though!

Nice one Barry. Those wheels with the larger tyres really make a big difference to the apearance of the Ital don't they? Looks like a real executive class saloon.
You must have two of the coolest Itals around. In fact it should be "ITALMADBAZ" now! 😆

shame bl never offered the top model ital with alloys they did with the vp ambassador same era
I've got 3 sets of tr7 alloys
my red ital wears a set as well

Great looking car that one Barry. I'm not normally a fan of the TR7 alloys but they really suit the black car.

I remember you posting that you'd seen my car. I think Josh told you that it was mine. Whereabouts did you take the pics?
