Anything can be done but getting is certified for use on public roads is another thing entirely. There used to be a 2cv (French Connection) and a Bond Bug (Metronome) racing at Santa Pod, both with V8s. :o

Another example of a succesful restoration? Yes, but also a special case of certification where anything can be done. It is a 2CVolt, a Swiss engineer was busy for 18 months, a conversion to all electric. Several impressive batteries under the hood.

A funny thing happened yesterday on my way to this forum, I saw her face again. Not this beauty caught my eye, but one of her sisters. An Austin-Healey Sprite, under reconstruction. When I left this car she looked up to me: Robert, please, help me......

Great pics and lovely cars, I fell in love in the 70s with the car of my dreams, it was in metallic purple with a white "Everflex" roof, so close to buying it :( :( but didnt, 50yrs later if I could only have one car it would be the same, 7.2ltr V8 Jensen Interceptor, to be greedy it would be a rag top FF, just to put the icing on the cake. :clap: :clap:

@ Blaze, already 100 m away, I imagined I heard her whispering: don't leave me this way, set me free....
