Quote: What a super photo Ronald, where did you find it?
Found it on this site, but it's not clear to me where the original '70s picture came from...

I know there's been debate about the stripes as the car doesn't have any fitted currently. I'd imagine that if it did ever have any then they have been removed though this has left no mark. Ian and I discussed this at great length last week at our meeting and we drew no obvious conclusions. Any conspiracy theories didn't add up either! One thing's for sure you cannot blame Photoshop as it didn't exist back then. |

The engine and crank are in the kitchen. New stainless exhaust arrived today, in the conservatory along with lots of other bits and pieces. I'm in the process of refurbing the carbs which are in the utility. VA6 is gradually taking over the house as well as the garage!!!! |

I think they did well to last 10 plus years, most cars would be well gone by then and of course back then the cars were not really recognised in the way they are today. Reckon only VA6 and the Kitley car still survive, oh and VA1 of course but that doesn't really count as it's spent most of its life in the museum. |

Them carbs are so pretty, it seems a shame to run to run mucky petrol and polluted atmosphere through them! Steve |

Found another picture of FRW 802L, this time at Silverstone during a press day perhaps? |
