Post by: Bush Tucker Man on June 12, 2005, 22:36:27: That's 'Re-Discovery' it was originally built by 'Four Plus 4'in Leeds.
It's been in most of the LR magazines & offered for sale several times, lastly Simmonites.
It is running a 4.5 engine & auto-box. The interior is mainly late 80's RR (pre-'soft-dash')

just checked & yes, it is stil for sale on[/url=http://www.simmonites.co.uk/]Simmonites[/url] site.

Post by: Jake on June 13, 2005, 17:27:06: To be honest it cant be that hard to make one (if someone wanted too)

Just need a rangie bonnet, wings, head lights, grill and scuttle plate.

All you need to do apparently is pick up a suitable lump of 2x4 and repeatedly smash yourself round the head till you think it looks good...
