Happy birthday VHP

Body filler became a big thing in the '70's, and the fibreglass/ filler repair era was probably the eventual death knell for many of our lovely classics as MOT regs tightened.

 

So glad Iain that you had the foresight to carry out a proper restoration in 1981, when so many others were just being scrapped.

 

Lovely car!

I am owning the same TR6 since more then 30 years and I can imagine the joy, energy and determination to keep VHP 529 since 60 years...

Congratulation and all the best for the coming period

 

Best regards
