GRAND NATIONAL ROADSTER SHOW 25th,26th and 27th January.

Hope to have it finished for the show, many parts on this machine are original and over 30 years old, a time machine brought back to life and I hope you like it as much as I have been creating it.

Be great to meet some of the people that phone or email us from all over the globe, hope you can make it there?

Soon as I know what building we are in, I shall let you know.
