Very nice car you have there!

i have been told this car was at the 1966 motor show at earls court, somebody may have some photos the car was blue whe n first done by radford and had areg number j 817 someone might remember as i am trying to trace histoy of the car,as this forum has some fantastic old photos you never know cheers brian.

I would imagine the LAT archive at Haymarket publishing would have photos from the motor shows as hey'd have been covered for 'Motor' and other big publications of the day. Worth a try if you haven't already tried them.

looking forward to some pics of the finished car, really interesting motor , nice job

Here are some pictures now the dash is all fitted.

im not clued up on this coachbuilt stuff but i look on with great interest

hi the gauges are just normal smiths but not sure what the fuel gauge come out of the speedo i have been told come out of american mgb and the taco is an 80mm smiths if iam wrong please let me know cheers brian.ps the voltmeter should be an ampmeter.

Hope Santa brought you some patience pills as well.
You will need them when it comes to setting up the relays on those electric windows....they can be a bit of a nightmare!!

Nice car!

That's a beautiful car you've got there, I'd love to make a hatchback one day as I doubt I'll ever be lucky enough to find and original.
