Looks to me like the car is a Mk1-2 with clubby GRP-front...

Nice work, great to see new stuff still coming, even after 50 years

Looks like it has got a single bolt subframe so don't think it is a mk1-2

I saw it up close at Combe and looked at the build pics the owner had, it's a later shell I believe converted to sprint, I didn't ask about the front end but thought it was FG. The hinges on the doors are fabricated alloy ones.

Ive had this saved on my computer for a while, love it! prefer it to the blue one, but that is a different breed altogether...

thats vile

It looked to me like the doors were of pre Mk2-shape.. i.e round corners at the front... But this could ofcourse be modified aswell..



Edit: looking at the rear quarters in this size - I'm pretty certain my intial "guess" was wrong...

i did wonder if the blue one is a grp shell???
