Congratulations! No surprise since P4 is such a beautiful and sexy car and your P4 is extremely well-restored [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] | |

Thanks!
I like the shot of your car. Is your's right hand drive?
Did you have trouble registering it in Japan?

Jim, congratulations, to win in that setting must be a real thrill. Sorry if I missed an earlier post, but have you driven the P4 on the road and if so, how is it? | |

Hi
We're getting very close. As this chassis has flipped, been hit hard, and partially burned it took a lot of work to align it. We have the front where we want to be but still have to work on the rear. In a few weeks we should be ready for a good shakedown.
Next June we're taking her to Italy to run in the Historic Targa Floria.

Yes, my car is right hand drive (&shift) which is good for driving here. I bought this car as second hand, but no issue to register as having been imported as a complete car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] | |

Jim, how does the P4 sit compared with the MK IV height wise? I've never seen a MK IV in the flesh but it looks much bigger, taller etc. Pray elucidate....and yes, that is me cavorting in the Solent close to my house. Not as much fun as a '40 though. | |

Hi
They are pretty close sizewise but the P4 is a little smaller and a lot lighter. It's a touch lower as well.
They're quite different. The MK-IV has much more low end torque but the P4 feels faster through the turns. On the street the P4's mechanical FI takes some heal and toe to keep from stalling and it's sequential gear box, you have to go 3,2,1 to get 1 takes remembering. The MK-IV will pull away from a stop in almost any gear but under 4K the P4 makes little torque.
