Cheers for that! Everytime, friends of mine have been building cars up for shows, they've been going for completely standard and saying its concours. Not being a shower, i didn't know... Cheers for that!!Quote:

Here's some of the last pictures taken of it before it was taken off the road, around 2002 I believe at the PCC National Weekend and the Total Vauxhall Shoot.

I think a few people have different ideas on what makes a concourse car etc as said previously, My idea would be something that is exceptionally clean and well built be it standard or modified.
For one I'll be looking forward to seeing Ians car again however I imagine yours is going to take some beating though Dec!
Aye he's on JOV as well - I think the thread is called 'The Paperweight' ?

Dec, got some pics from around the 2002/2003 mark which i think was around the last show's it went too. There was talk of getting it out for the 25th aniversary but dont think ian could get the car to his standards in time for billing!! Hope to see it next show season though.
i'll check for some pics and post them up! ( just been trying to post the same pics Andy has) should have some others
Matt..
Wasn't there a very similar gte at pvs this year? A Girl/Lady owned it? I'm probably wrong and well off the mark
