    I wish I could send you a personal thankyou Sam, you along with a number of other car people have kept me going these last few years, Saturday last week I took the plunge and finally bought one of my dream cars, a 1954 Morgan +4 four seater. It wasn't looking for this car in particular but it turned out to be everything I wanted in a car. The first trip out was heavenly and all those years fighting the blues, trying to figure out what I wanted to be all faded away. I'm extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to get and live my dream, but watching you on drive the world, and seeing people like Duncan Pittaway living his classic car dream, kept me going and gave me purpose and drove me to my dream. I'm sure I'll get go meet you one day and I can only wish you the best as you continue your journey.

    The P7 is one of the rarest and best cars ever made. Good luck finding one. The 2015 F-Type R is essentially identical, so thats an easy choice. And all V8 F's tune to the same effortless 700HP, making the 2014 even more essentially identical.

    Can’t believe I’m saying this but I prefer the modern F type. It’s much more usable as a car you could daily drive. In my mind the project 7 would be a car you couldn’t really drive much because of that roof. Imagine taking it to mainland Europe ? You’d need a separate car for your luggage

    • @mike.sharp4578
      @mike.sharp4578 3 года назад +1

      Ok I understand Sam can not deface the press car but as a project 7 owner, I have had the bulkhead in the boot cut away and retrimed. This allows for the roof components to be stored in there bags and the full set of f type luggage set to be carried in the boot. I can even place more soft bags into the wheel arches. I believe the project 7 has more capacity than a standard roadster.
