Well, just been back from Lime Rock and left Reggie back in the US.

She arrived too late for the concours and sadly she was damaged in transit. At some point, the ties wer cut and she moved withing the container. The front and rear bumpers took all the impact (saving the car) but got totalled in the process. Pix to follow

So, I'm should be having new bumpers made (US spec) - in the correct material - and when I know more, it may be possible to do more than one set.

And I was 2 secs quicker around the track too - a wedge best of 1.24.40 - got 3rd in V8 class and a trophy to boot

OUCH ! That's heart-breaking.

I would be devastated if that was my car. Can you make a claim against the shipping company?

Tim,
I would suggest to check the panels behind the bumpers, as your pics seem to show the same damages as on my 13295 when I bought it ( and panels had to be re-formed ).
Front grille seems also to have moved back...
I would be angry too if it was my car...
