I'll give you a yell if I'm up that way when the car's finished, which is highly likely, have family in Napier so will have to do a Stratos road trip up north. I've had a couple of 124 BC's too, one minter, and one I rescued, great aren't they?

Can I almost make out Mark's green ListerBell in the panoramic shot in the Silverstone thread or is it another?
Shame you couldn't make it in your car, always looks like a great event.


I think my 124 BC was my first proper car, it was a rocket 20 years ago.

Have you thought about Joining the Club and see all the cool stuff and more....;) its cheaper than buying a Stratos but a step in the right direction.....

Aah, the mighty whitey! Really good to see all the pictures, and what happened to the weather!! Sounds like it was really out of the blue.

yes i had considered it but at over $50.00 NZD. just to be forum member is a bit steep really, especially as I'll never use any of the discounts/club event features etc....perhaps should have a "donating member" option for us internet lurkers??

Good idea. The fee is worth it if you're thinking of building, currently building, restoring, or already have one though. Lots of good info inside.

how did you get on with MSNZ regarding the inbuilt roll protection on the listerbell? i know MSNZ can be very anal regarding doing it "thier way or no way".

It's not going to be a competition car so I don't think I'll have to worry about MSNZ. I may just have to paint strip a small area of the chassis to let the certifier see the welding though.
