30 Years of Davrians

Hi All,
It was really good to see so many Davrians and their owners in one place at the Combe 50th Anniversary get together.
Got me thinking about the Davrains I have driven / owned in the last 30 years . That set me rummaging in old photos. So thought I'd share a few..

Sadly this one didn't come to the re union 50th Celebrations so no current picture.

Here are a few other pictures of the Mark 5 at play and one showing how many Davrians you could get in one place back then ..

I rather like the comment over the Mark 8 at Donnington in the ford advert "Cars with a Future", seems rather appropriate.....

Cheers all

Usual Davrian waving paw at onlookers attention-seeking behaviour! :lol:

Has anyone ever tried fitting decent adjustable double wishbone front suspension with an anti-roll bar?

It'd probably go round corners even quicker....something like this, a mate's race Caterham on which he designed this improved system...
