"ME 3740, Chassis 82, Engine 856, is a re-creation of a 1922 TT car.

This photo is of the chassis being painted in my cluttered garage, in 2005-ish. The project was started in 1982, with a kit of parts (incomplete) and after many years, finally started to come together around 2002. The first outing was in Sept 2009.

It has appeared in the review a few times."
