Whose LinkedIn profile was that from Bibs? I sure I have that Motor magazine somewhere. Note the early prototype minus the 'ears' behind the rear 3/4 glass/inlet......

Think that was the last Donny Paul and I were at Steve (unless the year where you were along the back wall of the Hall with another Essex was after?) Lovely....................

[Veilside]

Long time ago now but would guess the "back wall" was 2008 the foyer 2009 & 2010 was the last Donnington show.

Thought I might just mention here if OK that No.17 is now for sale (via me) in the Classified section.

Just found some old images of my HC Turbo along with Essex No.017 - IIRC this was at the Shuttleworth Collection down near Bedford - early/mid-90's............................. The first and the last of the G Turbo's......😎
