Graham,

Great pics its nice to see such a varied collection of years and classes.

Would you hppen to have any pics of a white 16 Phantom which was originally B30 Le gopher (1989 season) then be came Fugazi B106(1991) then B53 (1992), if you have any pics of it would be great to see them.

Thanks

Paul
