Djetset will be very busy with the Goodwood Festival of Speed organising.
I'm sure he'll be back soon once everything is in place.
I've been waiting for at least one reply for 2/3 weeks now...

Sorry, but as Carnut mentioned, I have recently been out of action due to work pressures in the run-up to this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, plus a death in the family.
So, after almost three weeks I am now back in action, and can confirm that this car is NOT Nick Topping's NJT Gullwing coupe!

BH very soon...

Any hint perhaps?

Any hint perhaps?
A hint hey! Hmmm, all I can think of for now is that I don't believe that an actual 'real' version of this car was ever built. My image is taken from the cover of the leafler for this car. Not sure this wil help, but...
