Dave Doesn't have access to 289 or FiA bucks at the moment.

He has, but it's some considerable way off yet. He could do a 289 body on a Mk.III chassis sooner, but that almost defeats the object of what Dave's doing.

Congrats on the purchase. Lovely car. Not sure how I feel about more 427's in the club though :wink:
You know you want one really Dave. :wink:

All of Dave Brookes' cars go through IVA.

The only real options for aluminium 289's are either Kirkham or Shelby and they're both much more expensive, massively so in the case of the Shelby.

In any case, 427's are much cooler. :wink: :mrgreen:

Cheers, Clive.
