I think it's great that you're doing this kind of project and hopefully a few
more people will follow in the future. It's fantastic to see the old cars and bikes again whether it's the
original or a recreation I don't mind :D
Great pictures BTW.

no bill, they were something to do with a sponsorship deal thing back in the day.
some sort of special fabric?.
mark will be along soon to tell you all he knows?.

the wheelbase will be 90" to keep things "legalish". :D

the car will be built with this car in mind, not to the letter but very close, the original car was broke up like so many of them so a copy is the only option. mark has one of the original rear side windows, i know a chap that says he has the original carbs.(unfortunatly hes in jail.) we have the inlet manifold and what you see in the pictures.

if anyone has or knows where any other parts from this car are id love to hear from you?.

also if you have any pictures/stories you would like to share? please do.

Sid.

Stef, your a Star!

You need the old truck from the background too - Commer / Bedford possibly? I'm not old enough to remember ;-)
