I remember seeing a black TS with green tint glass here in the UK.. so that was pre 77

I remember Mike building this in his single garage, at the time it was VERY cutting edge.. very few people had succesfully got the 20v running, same goes for grafting the synchro into a mk1 shell.

When I used to supply the Autocavan adjustable braces I used to have to get the bolts from Germany to get the correct length in the same grade as factory. I think they were 110mm long 10.9 grade
