Echos almost exactly what I thought, except I think the black kit makes sense. I'm very pleased that Jonathan came on and cleared up a few points.

I think the cars are something rather special and as such they are bound to cause a stir with some people liking them and others not. Without a doubt the lucky new owners will love them. Lets face it if a new owner had come on with a photo we all would have complimented him so why criticise it just because a dealer has had the idea.

After my father died when I was 14 I came under the wing of Legacy in Australia.

"Legacy is a charity providing services to Australian families suffering financially and socially after the incapacitation or death of a spouse or parent, during or after their defence force service. We currently care for around 90,000 widows and 1,900 children and disabled dependants throughout Australia."

In those days they ran an activities centre for children in Sydney and every evening that I went there the following lines from Laurence Binyon's poem were recited.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn;
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Followed by the words "Lest we forget"

Some things you don't forget.
