Okay folks, sorry I've not been posting so much, my day job has gone crazy for the last two months, and no sign of letting up for another few weeks... and I've got some cool stuff to share too!! :/ In the mean time I saw a car today near Hyde Park on my way to get my train, it went past before I managed to get my phone out. Number plate : VKK 4 It was a wedgey 70's looking car, a 4 seater GT looking thing, with an actual boot. Like the curse word child of a Montiverdi Hai and an Austin Princess... with a boot. It had an emblem on it that looked like a Griffin, which would imply Vauxhall, but I'd like to think I know pretty much all Vauxhalls including some obscure concept cars. Given where it I saw it you can go as wild and rare as you want. Within 5 minutes walk of that I regularly see a McLaren P4 12C and a Mirage 720 (look it up ) Any ideas??

De Tomaso Longchamp? Iso Lele? Or an Iso Fidia? Only just discovered those two Iso's actually exist

Monica? (unlikely as only prototypes exist) Iso Fidia? Gilbern used a griffin logo, but I don't know of any models other then the Invader (which it obviously isn't) EDIT: Damn, beaten to it... great minds etc

As lovely as the Fidia is, the Rivolta that it replaced was way nicer

Yeah... I'd be hard-pressed not to swap that I out for an E if I owned one... Even though there is much want.
