Reply to "Deauville spares"

The Deauville starts its road back to loveliness when it heads up to South Yorkshire to the Brotton-meister’s premises on November 15th.

The brief is this, to have her good enough to show at next years Goodwood Festival of Speed as the unfortunately (and as I’m sure Derek read in the most recent DTDC magazine) Roger’s own car had some paint issues which ruled her out of this year. We need to maintain the presence!

At the moment I am not sure whether to retain her in the original Maserati red (I think that the official name for the colour) or to go for something darker, half of me wants to retain the full authenticity and the other half wants her dark navy or black? Answers please

I want to put something of a photo journal in the photo gallery on this board charting her progress from when she leaves until when she comes back and hopefully gets to take part in the odd beauty pageant next summer.

All in all she is not that bad anyway with the only known tin worm problems being in the bottoms of the two front doors, other than that she starts first time and runs ok but will of course take advice from those who know best.

Other known problems are all four door locking mechanisms are shot and the electric motors on the drivers seat are dead as well as the electric motor for the drivers side window.

PS Derek, the GTSE would already be mine but I need to know how much loot is going into the Deauville first. She is truly fantastic and although I wouldn’t want to waste anybody’s time I would love to see her. It’s a shame the club isn’t doing the classic car show this year, I was hoping to meet one or two of you being a new member
