Exposure to them certainly boosts the enthusiasm, I could do with a bit too, actually make that A LOT.

Have you got a photo from the front with the engine poking out?

Don't seem to have a pic from the front which is weird as I remember taking some from various angles. Next time the engine is in I'll take a pic and post it up.

Aha! I thought there were too many coincidences at Castle Combe yesterday! Now I can put a couple of faces to your posts here on the forum. Good to have met you yesterday and hearing more about the car. Looking forward to seeing you joining us at future events.

Nope I'm pretty sure I'll be going for a more modern headlight unit but if I keep the original I'd have to space it out this much....

Lost in the space, but would look a bit daft on its own, it'd need fitting in something that looked similar to a larger light.

Yes, probably not the brightest lights compared to a xenon version, they're quite long though, but you can of course position them further forward.

I was looking at the 70mm units that are separate dip and main which would mean a quad light set up, which could be interesting :?
