Photo from a Local car show with my boyfriends F-II Coupe (right) and my friend Charlie's F-II Coupe (left)

Quite a rare pairing of cars now!

Since OhSoRetro nothing much had happened to the 100A in that time, hence I haven't posted for a bit!

With that, here is a picture of my 100A E10 and my boyfriend's 120A F-II together

I will post photos from events in the between of any updates :)

29/9/2025 - A little money spread of things I acquired from OhSoRetro, the wheels definitely make the car ;)

28/9/2025 - OhSoRetro show day! This was quite an unreal day for me. The 100A did an impressive near 700 miles total as we returned the same day from the show.

I was really proud to display the 100A at the show I bought it from a year prior!

27/9/2025 - After the brief running in period the day before it was time for it's fabled first long drive ~338 miles to Kent. Impressively the 100A made it to the campsite with no issues!

26/9/2025 - The 100A had its first REAL drive back on British roads! This just mainly consisted of driving on some backroads and a motorway trip which it handled well!

video is the boyfie driving him :3

21/9/2025 - Somehow had this lump running and test fitted his face, getting closer and closer to its first drive out on the roads for the first time in near 20 years!

17/9/2025 - Mileage unknown, from a random French Cherry that was imported over, it was very nice seeing the heart of the operation installed.

16/9/2025 - A bit after the bodywork was completed it was time for it to start coming together, the front suspension and gubbins were installed, it was pleasing to see the dashboard and steering wheel in the car too!

minor error in title, my silly self put 2026, the title is meant to be 2025 as it would be in the future lol

[Meru Richardson @vMeruu]

9/9/2026 - Alot of the body painting and underside work started coming into place, some suspension assembly and little cool bits! (yes it started as a project very late since it was being built for a show deadline)

25/10/2024 - Just 4 days after my 19th birthday, at 4am, my beautiful boy was delivered after not seeing him for a month, a momentous occasion seeing him here, you can also see my boyfriends old Datsun 100A in the background :>

28/9/2024 - First time seeing the 100A in person, as bad as this looked then I was madly in love with it, showing 31,876.5 Miles, but presumably it's been around the clock once.
