Hi,
Yep, I used to own a '72 Elan S3 SE w/ Big Valve Head. That is the one car I wished I'd never sold. You didn't drive that car, you wore it! The Boxster seems Mammoth compared to it, and the Elan would take the Boxster on a Road Course, I'm sure of it, especially the 26R's...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

I was looking at this company. Jay Leno bought one of these...I think a choice he would make would be somewhat credible. I just love the 550.

He says that Jay drives a different car every day and he phones this guy to tell him which one to get ready. I suspect he may have had some input. I can check with him, but I never heard of this outfit, not that they're not good, just never heard of them...

MN, any information would be greatly appreciated! By the way, on the bottom of the website is the CGT speed record run at Talladega.

Probably the Cobra just for the sheer fun the sound and power - but that 550 replica looks pretty alluring....
I also wouldn't mind either that Austin Healy 3000 or Sunbeam Tiger in Jim's picture!

Hi,
Yea, that's a pic from this year's Intermarque Spring Fling, an annual Car Show here in the TC made up of all the local Car Clubs. That's a small portion of the cars which were on display, including our Boxster, just outside the pic...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
