One for you Pete?

I suppose the original Enfield 8000 had a connexion with my birthplace?

A bit like mechanically doping a Viscount ...

No obvious connexion with Enfield, Middlesex, it was apparently made on the Isle of Wight and also known as the Enfield Thunderbolt (!)

Yes John,I've had my eye on these for many years. Out bid on one.
As regards the drag racing side of things,there was a chap I met in Clifton,Bristol,in the early '90's,
he raced a much modified Sinclair C5,brake parachute etc!
The Enfield was made on the I.O.W. as there is a great deal of expertese in the use of fibre glass there.
Cheers,
Pete.
