Wow, great job, any chance of some more pics? Ive not seen that TC before. Is that the original BL price tag on your Dad's Ital?

I'm impressed, very impressed.

Will get more photos tomorrow. The price tag was made up by Nick Redman for my dad about 2 years ago. Looks the part tho!

Well I think the show was a huge sucess, thanks to everyone who was able to make it down :D

Regalia sold very well and everyone said the stand looked awesome.

All a bit tired now but definitely worth it. Got a few press people asking about the cars as well for upcoming articles so keep your eyes peeled!
