GrahamU 5 Posted June 20, 2017 Was looking around the office today thinking we have some nice toys laying around, such as this on my desk: Ex Marussia F1 steering wheel I built and have now modified to loan to a different team (not F1 this time) And this Wheel from an old Toyota F1, so quite old now but still looks good in the office Anyone else have anything interesting laying around ?

In the atrium have some full size models of an old nuke bomb(not a model but decommissioned one), a paveway and cruise missiles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Graphite 0 Posted June 23, 2017 This ^^^^ looks like a dream office! Need anyone to run the commercial side of the business??? It isn't bad at all, were a small team with low volume, high quality production. The owners manage the vast majority of it, with the founder - who is effectively who I report to, still working on the cars. holy cow on a stick Graphite! those pics are drool worthy is that an LS7 sat in the engine cradle? i am pretty good on identifying cars from odd angles & just their tail lights etc but i dont recognise T70 GDS next to the cobra's, what is it pls? oh & in similar vein to Fla - do you need a good IT techy there? lol EDIT - oooo google has revealed my mistake, they are not cobra's, they are GD's - WOW!!! That's an LS3 I believe, the engine bay shot is a 7 litre, 600 whp LS7. They are effectively cobras as 99% of the cobras you'll ever see won't be genuine Shelby cars as there were so few produced. T70 GDS is the company Lola T70 replica demonstrator, although this model has a canopy system which we call the T70 Moda. The gull wing windows are not fitted to the car at the moment. WOW! What a good place for a Corrado Forum meet? Any chance of repro Corrado panels as a side line? I will ask but we don't have a lot of parking space. On the panels front there could be, however we are in the process of building up to something that will be quite revolutionary in terms of the kit car world so there may not be time for it.
