Quite unlike anything else you're likely to come across too. Great to hear this is still chugging along and not causing too much grief.

Did sterling service at Goodwood Revival where the car is used as a period taxi for Goodwood Road Racing Club members & invited guests - over 300 miles covered in the 3 day event - minor issue when the supply lead to points decided to earth out on the distributer base plate but soon remedied - I still try to use the car when I can - I would much rather run about in this than the modern.

The Javelin ready for it's early morning wash prior to being pressed into service at Revival (Great video on youtube from a blogger that I drove down to the circuit - see the you tube thread in off topic)
