You can get a midsize version, but the full-size Seamaster Pro is
bigger than the Submariner - and also better made, despite being half
the price! The one that scarred my wrist is long gone. I think that
incident occurred about 1973, I remember because I had a Reliant
Scimitar 3-litre GT coupe at the time.


Really? The GT coupe was quite rare. A lot more collectable than the
GTE.

It's rare because they fell apart.......................

Great looker, but a live rear axle, skinny tyres and lots of torque
are an 'interesting' combination! Mine was a '67 car, LFN 727E.

I've recently had a drive of a car made just down the road from you, a
GTM Libra. (Made in Sutton Bonnington, usually in kit form). Even
better handling than an Elise IMO.

I do see quite a few of them on my daily work run, which goes past the
factory, but they seem to make about one a week, so hardly a serious
challenger..........

BTW, I don't believe you vis a vis the Elise, as I've chased them down
the road on a few occasions when they got cheeky. Not of course that I
would race on the public highway, occifer............ :-)
