First off, there's only 1 LM600 road car in existence. It was built to satisfy the FIA that the LM600 race car was a bona-fide GT and not a one-off race special. Factory testers reported, even undeveloped (all the return edges on the car were razor sharp!), that it'd exceed 170MPH and talked of a "developing it properly if someone comes along with £100,000". The car was, to my knowledge, last seen with Eurotech (Cor Euser's outfit) in Holland. There are some pictures of it somewhere on my website, with Dutch trade plates over its English plates. Secondly, the pre-Mantula coupe is often described as having a high- nose (there being no front spoiler), but looking at Jeff's photos his car does look unusually high. I'd expect this to be solved by lowering the setting of the spring seat on the shocks. However, it's worth considering WHY this has happened. It could be a case of too long springs, but equally (or maybe more) likely it's due to the car dragging its sump on a lower setting (My sump's been welded 3 times now!). So (daft as it may sound), it may well be worth raising the rear suspension (perhaps not to match, but 50% down on the front, 50% up on the front sort of thing), unless you live in area with pool table smooth roads :^) Cheers, Mark
