This is a Triumph TR5 pi I made. It has full independent suspension, working 4+R gearbox, 6 in line engine, openable hood, bonnet, doors and working steering wheel.

Uh, a lot of white bricks :)

The MOC is cool, but the most I like the exhaust pipe design.

And before I watched the video it looked like it might have space for PF... Thumbs up for Top Gear theme.  :thumbup:

Very cool one indeed! (again  :wink: )

Great how you managed to get the design just right. Not only on the outside but technically as well!
Good combo of studded and stud-less too :)

Great Model.

BTW...  What is the Lego part number the hinges used on the boot (trunk in the U.S.)?  I have been looking for these on Bricklink and have found nothing.  I even asked around at the my local LUG and most members were too young to be familiar with this the of hinge.

Allman Brothers always goes well with cars and Lego.  Heck, the Allman brothers even made Jimmy Carter look cool in 1976.  

(Showing my age and southern style.)

The number of those parts are 4275 and 4276 (they have to fit in each other).
But those parts aren't very old, I think around 10 years.

Thanks for the info.  Those are slightly different than the hinges that I have, but they will work interchangeably with the ones I have in the fact they are the same height and have the same thickness at the joint.  The latest hinges that have the stops (bumps) are too thick to work in many applications.
