Are you recruiting for potential beneficiaries and, if yes, where does one obtain an application form for the role? Alternatively, you could buy a child from an overseas dealer.

Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you one of these.

Now that is rather well put together by the look of it. I'm intrigued by the mention of the IL4 turbo though. Did they fit a turbo to the good old B series , or was that model fitted with something modern and sophisticated?

Was a turbo ever fitted to the MGB? The answer is probably, not officially. But for a little over four and a half thousand of Uncle Sam's shekels you can fit one.

Well I have, but it didn't have a Renault badge on the bonnet. In 1992 I had the honour and privilege (I've told you this before, haven't I?) Forgetfulness and old age, it goes with the territory. Where was I? Ah yes the Renault that was badged, hold on. What have I told you before? I led a convoy of trucks into Romania loaded with essential aid after the fall of communism. Every car, every single car, was a Renault like that one on Facebook, only they had a Dacia badge. (Why is my spellchecker questioning the spelling of Romania?)

That's actually a Renault Siete, made in Spain for the Spanish market.

Thanks chaps, i haven't seen one before...
Anyone fancy this?
