Sorry late reply mate , v12 e-type is the correct answer , I've seen some very rare cars like a db2 only about 4 ever made ,

If anyone lives near me (oxfordshire /Berkshire ) I'm more than happy to show you round the workshop on weekends

And I don't know why but te white sucks and the blue looks childish !

You hit the nail on the head ! It was an awfull track car ....

Was sent back to the factory , the air jacks removed , glass fitted and swapped vents for headlights ect but still has huge brakes race suspension ect but it's so advanced for an early 96 Diablo ( late registered on conversion ) but it's even got digital climate !

epic build quality (from what i can see) of the bentley interior
. but the wood not.my cuppa tea  :grin:

your either lucky or worked f**king hard. hats off to you sir

The wood in the later models are swapped for a carbon we've / aluminium mesh (option) they are so safe and hold the road like nothing I've ever been in , I've worked here since I left school and did a 4year apprenticeship with them and only just finished ,

The vw bentleys are built so well there identical as the phaeton underneath and there easy to work on ,

Of course, but then the owner would be posting the pictures on the internet and taking responsibility. These are also not photos the owner has uploaded. There is no law, barryboys proves this, but I dont think his work would be pleased if he got owners complaining about their cars being shown on the internet.
Would you be happy, not sure I would.

Not being funny mate its no different seeing them on a street or show.
I can see your point but posting pics of them here doesnt make a massive difference in my opinion.

He probably thinks some master criminal is doing his "what car to pinch next" research by trolling car forums.

Gone are the good old fashioned days when said car thief would walk down the street and say " i'll have that".

Ti's the power of the internet!  :tongue:

As and aside. You must be very proud to work in a garage with such a good reputation.  Kudos.

Keep up the good work.

I changed the vacuum pump today with gasket but it still leaked good job I told the customer there was a chance the waterpump gave could have warped ! There shot they use it to servo the brakes then cool the water pump and it over heats warping it left right and centre :(
