Wow Pieces of Eight. Bit of UK drag racing history right there. Needs to be brought back out for sure.

Jesus H. Christ on a bike, doing a wheelie whilst singing Meatloaf songs! That Capri is an immense find! Great atmospheric shots too! Wonderful!

I want that Capri Funny Car! I searched the wibbly wobbly web and the only reference to "Pieces of Eight" I can find is a Mk2 Zephyr a search for Glyn Peck doesnt yield any useful results either

I missed the Cresta pics (or just blacked out after seeing the Capri...) That's very very VERY cool! Lucky, lucky man

"Pieces of Eight" is such a bitchin' name for a V8 monstrosity. Foreboding and foretelling, perhaps?
The T-J mechanical FI is too much, just way too much coolness.
I want it, badly. I promise to only drive it with a bugspray mask and av goggles. Even to the drugstore.
Please pass my details on to him, or please PM his contact details to me. I'm genuinely, actually, and positively interested. If you'd be so kind.
LHD too! Kewel.

the LHD would be for weight transfer reasons. I knew a lad who put a big block Chevy in a Calibra and he converted to LHD at the same time for best weight transfer.
I have heard of Pieces of Eight and I have seen a few grainy photos from back in the day of it. Too awesome for words that it survives! I wonder how much other cool stuff is hiding in lockups and barns?

Daimler, Jizzman. What I cannot discern is whether it is a 2.5L from a SP250 or a 4.5L from a Majestic sedan. I donno how to tell from a picture. You?
