Scottish Elises

Graeme,

Always enjoyed poping in to the showroom for a chat, and sometimes coming out with a new car.......

Looking forward to hearing what you are up to next.

Alan

Wonder where you got the inspiration for that colour scheme........

Will be in touch tomorrow.

I knew I had seen import numbers for GT3's quoted somewhere, so I had another trawl round the web today and found the following on 911UK.com:

997 GT3
Model Year 2007 - 159
Model Year 2008 - 89
TOTAL 248

997 GT3 RS
Model Year 2007 - 78
Model Year 2008 - 41
TOTAL 119

Small world indeed. Myself and the other half (although still the girlfriend rather than the wife...) used to share the driving. I figured it was only fair, as she did help to build the car in the first place.

Yup - that was our first Westy. 1800 Sport built from a full kit in 2003, and traded back to the factory for a Megabusa in 2006. I believe they sold it to someone in London. Good to see a photo of it in its prime.....
