you can have the whaletail from my black 85 Aero, as i don’t think it suits the earlier aero bodykit. So it will be coming off to be replaced with the original spoiler.

I still say the 900 needs a whale-tail. And vent covers. But mostly a whale-tail. If I ever have a C900, it will have a whale-tail.

The shot outside the concert hall is almost a classic. Certainly worth re-doing with, dare I say it, a little more advice from Stu the camera genius.

WRT your little coupe, the concert-hall shot is a great perpective that really showcases the lovely balance of the C900 shape. Like mine, your car could probably benefit from some slightly bigger wheels ( 16″deep dish aeros? ) & even new shocks & springs but the stock format is pretty classic. The overall balance is what really gets me I must admit – particularly when combined with the usefulness of the car. A 911 is balanced in the same way too but the day-to-day factor means that it always needs to be a 2nd or 3rd car.

That Jetsons house on the hill is just full-on. The engineering bills must have been eye-watering.

Thanks Ted, yeah it appears to be all OK. Matt the Saabologist came around, banged a few things and it’s been fine ever since. Airflow sensor, I think.

I still have to take it easy, though, as a CV boot is on it’s way out.

The car looks really good! You just don’t see them in that good of condition here in the Northeast due to the primarily due to the abuse they take from the elements (weather, salt etc.)

Was your driveability problem resolved on the car?

I’m not sure about the vent covers. I love ‘em, but would they suit without the whaletail and bumper kit? I’m not so sure.

Your car doesn’t need much no. However I noticed one thing missing, the air-outlet covers on the sides. Those are MUST on any Aero!

Swade: Beautiful, as usual. See? You don’t need no stinkin’ Viggen, you’ve got the C900!

I also like the blue panels on the side of the concert hall, great stuff.

Very Nice Pics.
Especially in front of the blue panels on the concert hall.

By the way, who’s the architect of the concert hall and who designed the clifford-residence on the hill slope ?
