I thought that I would add one new topic for all the Spotted rather than keep adding separate topics.

Saw a LHD green one with a UK plate in the car park at the BRM Day on Sunday, pic to follow. Didn't recognise it as anyone's from here.

LHD one is probably Chris from the 7 workshop, spotted a few weeks back:

CLITHEROE LANCASHIRE, keep a look out for MKB 752 E , chassis number 123 of the first run. Kit manufactured 1986 finaly up and running today 10 December 2012. Intention is to run on fair days untill about March then strip for paint and final build when bugs ironed out. 55 miles on it today and very pleased,never missed a beat and pulls like a train. 1275 A Series with 40DCOE, 1.5 ratio rockers, out to + 0.060,ported and chambered head (unknown),Westfields latest exhaust manifold and box , midget gearbox and 3.9 diff.It appears to be running about 19 MPH per 1000 with the 145 X 13 tyres. I have plenty to compare it with,currently also running a TVR Griffith 500, 2 litre rover engined Robin Hood Super Spec,a 3.5 rover V8 powered 1930's style open roadster I scratch built some 23 years ago and my wife's Astra VXR .Over the years have built a 1962 Series II Lotus Seven with 1340 Cosworth /1971 Series IV Seven /1982 Marlin Roadster with 2.5 Ltr Triumph six / 1986 3.5 Rover V8 engined Marlin Berlinetta. Also totaly rebuilt a 1969 MK II Lotus Cortina and a genuine Geoff Uren 1970 MK II Cortina Savage Estate. This not counting the various bikes over the same period, I've given up to them now though and I think The Eleven wil be my "Swan Song".
Hope I haven't bored you all. Cheers Bob Whittaker

Will keep my eyes open, but you're a bit far North to see from here!
