Congratulations to John and Lindy Stevenson for getting the "starship" ROB on the JDC stand at the N.E.C  .

John and Lindy worked extremely hard on the car and it was a magnificent sight to see them collect their Rose Bowl and certificate in the glare of the paparazzi , well done .

Coming soon Brian , coming soon , Rome wasn't built in a day . The down load of a "starship" takes light years due to it's sheer size  Grin

This car would have won the trophy had it not been for the wrong sized battery which I'm not allowed to mention "OOOPS" sorry John   Grin

Alan,

Many thanks for posting the excellent photos and for the support of yourself and Teresa on the day. All very much appreciated. However, I would have thought that someone of your exalted rank would have been aware of the 420G Type "R" with its many performance features, the lightweight battery being but one!
On a slightly more serious note, the judges had quite a few issues with ROB & rightly so. This did not prevent us from having a great time - felt rather priviledged to be there.
With best wishes
Lindy & John

Best bit of the Show - attached is a pic of Tony Banks, who has driven the car from new. Great to see him enjoying EXACTLY the same interior as 41 yrs ago.

Hi John / Lindy

You are absolutely right , how could I have mistaken an "R" Supreme Model for a lowly "starship" . However in my defence I do have to say the glare from the paint work was undoubtedly to blame .

Lightweight I couldn't have described it better myself   Smiley

All the very best
