    Enjoyed the great content on here - and only recently signed up - but lurking for a while! - blown away by stephen mitchell's GTO vids!

    Reason for post was that we have on old video we took back in 1998 of colin crabbe's 500 trc with V12 lump - saw it marketed it at DK last year - presume it has gone to fulfill it's destiny as his pension. Anyway - describing colin as a larger than life legend who found and raced some spectacular cars does not really do him justice and after a spectacular lunch at his home a couple of us from work got a ride in his 500.

    enclose a link to the video below - sorry if it's a repost!

    Colin was nice enough to call me once regarding an order I had placed at his Compleat Automobilist...sadly I could not speak to him too much at the time as my daughter had just been born a few minutes previously!

    Very nice little video; thanks. I think DK did several 2+2 rebodies of this ilk; is this one of their examples, or a real TRC?

    yeah was car from cuba - can't remember if it was DK or hall and fowler who put v12 lump in - he found a lot of interesting stuff including merc w125 from eastern europe - now owned by bernie E i believe.

    he has had quite a few interesting ferraris - just did a web archive search and found this old gallery page of stuff he used to race/event:

    not visible is an old 250lm road car - 1 of 2 apparently that he had ages ago on this link below:
