[928uk] A V8 missing

[ian.marsh928 at gmail.com]

All,

Talking about V8's not sure if any of you have picked up on the new car museum which have recently opened in Taunton by Richard Hammond?

We took a group of Tipec members around the museum a few weeks ago and its impressive, its located in a high street shop which sounds bizarre but it’s a real Tardis inside with dozens of cars and good selection of motorbikes. Plenty of car parks within easy walking distance.

When I walked around and spotted some Porsches, I was surprised to see a white S4 auto in very good nick reg B7 MPY. It has obviously been stood for years last MOT was 2014.

Anyone know this car??

If anyone is in the West Country and fancies a look around, I can recommend it.

Not sure where Smiffy and Andrew are thinking about meeting up next year but this perhaps a good option with Haynes Museum also very local. I know its not that central, but no location is perfect. Just a suggestion. 

Regards

Ian

OK Simon I stand corrected.
I did look fairly closely when they said it was a V8 gathering, but couldn't see any 928s at all.
