Very true Brian and Rich. But his current use of the Talago description is misleading to those that don't know the history. I think that is what upsets people. Perhaps call it Richard Fishwick's DIY V8 
Perhaps we ought to ask the owner to do a full article on the car so that these aspects are better understood. And the history of this fascinating car is worth sharing more widely.
Having met Angela Priestly - what a fascinating and erudite lady! - I'm fascinated to see her father's photograph. It's quite a late Talago. The wings could even be production wings, with the flares to the wheelarches and the opened out front wheel arch. It is very clearly a Talago though. Clues to look for are the lack of the central crease in the bonnet, no opening rear 1/4 lights and the small triangular finisher in the back corner of the rear 1/4 lights. That triangulr piece is a hangover from when Talago's had a single piece frameless window there. The window frames could possibly be thinner than production too - which would match with P6/10 at Gaydon. And of course those trademark vented rear 1/4 panels. Bearing in mind it has the continuous - production type - front bumper, it's probably from the last three constructed, p6/13 to P6/16. I wonder if there is any annotation on the rear of the photograph Sqizzy?
