I caught the 'Rootes' bug back in the 1980s bug when I was 17. I bought a 1946 Hillman Minx to restore and a couple of years later I bought a '73 fastback Rapier to drive whilst I restored the Minx. As you might expect things didn't go according to plan. I drove the Rapier to and from work for 18 years and the Minx still isn't finished (but nearly, it should be in the paint shop in a couple of weeks). A long the way the Rapier gained a Holbay 'Marathon' engine, lowered suspension, lots of new metal, new parts and I'm pretty sure there isn't a nut, bolt or screw on the car that hasn't been off and on at least once. I recently 'inherited' a 1968 Rapier - I'm hoping to have this one the road in a year or two... Derek [/quote]    Insert an Image File Check here to include your profile signature.
