A friend of Dave's popped round this afternoon for a cuppa, with his latest pur-chase.  Very nice indeed.  (Keith used to have the Zephyr Estate)

Unfortunately the colours haven't come out very well in the pics, but its cream and burgandy.  Absolutely gorgeous, and surprisingly quiet when he started up and drove off!

I think Anthony Hopkins, playing Burt Munro in "The World's Fastest Indian", drove one of those. Nice motor.
