Built from scratch
I had recently graduated from university and had my first job working at British Steel in Rotherham UK. I was working a 3 shift rota and so with time (and money) on my hands I decided I needed a hobby.
18 months later she passed her MOT (Ministry of Transport) test first time and away I went.
It’s called an Eagle and was based on a VW chassis. With a beefed up 1600cc engine and with such a light body it really flew along and with tyres more akin to F1 it was glued to the road.
Unfortunately this is the only picture I have. I drove it around for 2 years and then sold it. It was sad to see it go but times had moved on and I was now living in London, but that’s another story ...

We’ve Got Your Twelve O’clock
My late daddy was a bombardier on the RAF, Great Britain Royal Air Force, Lancaster bomber during WWII. Being a bombardier, he was upfront in the plane with his Norden bombsight being the bomb aimer to help liberate the world from the Axis powers. He was there on the “morning” of D-Day off the coast of France helping bombard the fortifications along the coast.
