Just a late happy birthday to the first Walkinshaw's. I know there'd be a handful that are 21 now. I know my old one is. Turned 21 the other day :-)

Looking forward to celebrating my Walky's 21st too.
I will have to check the build date, but Ive always celebrated its birthday on the day we picked it up brand new - which happened to be 8/8/88 :D
The number 8 was my lucky number before this day, and definately was confirmed on this day when I had to drive it home on my P's, coz my parents (who originally bought it) hadn't driven a manual for many years :D:D
My 2nd son was almost born on this day too, but ended up being a day late ;)

Cheers

Interesting that one of the walky limos was 8-8-88 #434 and yours is 11-8-88 and #643!

mine couldn't be in the initial 500 due to GroupA homolagation rules

In some advertisements or brochures you see they state they built 500 then later built another 250 and in other advertisements they always intended to build 750 and were advertising this from day one. you would think from those build dates being so close that they intended to build 750...
