$1600 then.

How naughty of me, it's $1629 on this (similar) ad http://www.adclassix.com/images60anglia.jpg

the extra $29 must have been for the extra hire rate for that lion costume



oh yes - a racing Angle box, that must have scared the americans!

What year did it win Sebring ?

I see it ran in the Sebring 4 hours.  Is that for cars with headlights that don't work.

I'm sure my father paid £599 for one in 1960 - a 997cc base model, reg 599 TKM.  A friend had one that had been in the Monte Carlo rally, with a 1500 GT motor

Strange but true.

The angle box was great, did you know that laying on the roof you could hold the edge of the car by the rain chanels above each door, while tucking your feet into the rear window for extra grip. Which made it harder to get you thrown off the car. -Things you do when your a kid - 


Now on to the red ball

What can you tell me about this, not sure if the interior cushion was design by Habitat or Ikea.

Spot on Steve

And your chosen colour ?

[Steve Pyro]

Cheers Neil, lets have a nice green one.

[Leftie]

I am wonderings whether the Green ball will be a 'C' or 'D' type from an interesting angle.

[nopanic - neil]

OK - as we have not had a green for a while, we have a choice of one of two.

So I have decided to go for strange one.

What can you tell me about this one, and don't jump, its not as easy as it seams...........

[nopanic - neil]

well it looks like a SCUD missile on its launching vehicle, in the fully erected position.

yes and no - thats what it looks like - but what is it?

[Lorry]

The cab looks very Russian, but aren't the two guys at the back playing baseball?  Must be a Yank - is it the Pershing

[nopanic - neil]

ok - we all know what it is supose to be,

but what is it really?

[nopanic - neil]

righto, the launcher vehicle looks like the genuine item, the launcher rails looks wrong to me as they usually have a ladder section.  It looks like the picture was taken on an 'american' base in the states and they look like they are tethering the scud thing to the ground.  so i'd say it is an inflatable decoy.

operationally, it would look like a genuine launcher until the IR glasses were used

IR glasses - as requested   

[nopanic - neil]

as i said, its an inflatable decoy,

Well done that man,

[nopanic - neil]

OK - back on with the red ball

What can you tell me about this one?
