Just incase you all wondered where it had gone!

Just in case any of you had wondered where Motherofgods Lowlight V8 Minor had got to.....well, its in safe hands.

Been sitting on this secret for a little while now!

Have been having some relationship issues with this one but ive now come round to realising that actually I should stop feeling worried about owning such an amazing car that others have put together and realise its all about the car and not me!

Got some plans for it, primarily re-uniting the Carbon Fibre bonnet and Boot lid along with a few other bits and bobs to follow!

To be honest, its such a nicely put together car theres not much to do, James has put a lot of effort into it and its a top notch Minor.
Main objective is to use and enjoy it though. Have been using it rain and (Mostly) shine, shopping trips, any excuse and as James did....absolutley love it.

Have been Loudly and Proudly about driving it around Bristol recently and cant wait for the shows to start! Anyone fancy a tyre kick about the Bristol area drop me a PM.

Thats it......ive come out!

Is that legal ? I thought they had to be within a distance from the rear of the car ? And within a small distance from the sides of the car!

Hey Adam,

couldn't have gone to a nicer bloke, STILL miss it greatly. And yes the rear lights are legal and even the reflectors work behind glass;)

ENJOY

James

That'll teach me to be busy! I hadn't even realised it was for sale.

Which is probably fortunate as I'm trying to buy a modern diesel estate with 3 seatbelts in the back

Saw (and heard!) it at the Footman James Classic show yesterday, my poor demure little Jenny was hiding behind an E-Type about 50 yards away, I think she was worried about untoward advances. Huffy woman was heard to say 'how can anyone do something like that to a car like that?' but her hubby maintained a discreet silence, I think like everybody else surrounding the car he thought it was great. I loved the locking quarterlights, presume these are the means of entry as I couldn't see any doorhandles!

Here’s another shot from the Footman James classic car show at Bath Showground yesterday, the Avon MM stand was easily the best one in the show. In my unbiased opinion.
