Yep, that is nice, nice to see a hand crafted fabrication like that. Blimey, Nick Vortz still brazing, would have thought he'd tig weld these days, a real blast from the past. Thought he'd retired, how did you get him to do that, lucky you.

Nope, they used foam.
A lovely thing

I've got one of the Huxford / Cooper Car Co. brochures somewhere, with the poster as well. Looked a lovely car at the time.

Does anyone know if Nick Vortz is still producing these airboxes. One of these would be fantastic on my 68 Mk2. I've been trying to ring Nick for ages on the phone no from his website (which now seems to be removed) so any info on how to contact him would be great
Cheers
