Slippy
Purchased May 2008 from Brighton, had flowers growing in the back and was hand-painted with a brush in what looked like Dulux emulsion...
I hand built the 1380cc unit with competition quality components, and blew it up. Engine is nearly rebuilt, ready to go into the car which is now fully prepared for it's power.
The car is due to have vinyl graphics applied which I have designed and re-used as the theme for this website. I am looking for an old french taxi style roof rack with wooden slats if anybody can help me out there. I will most likely make my own if I can't find a suitably sized example.
It will be at the 50th anniversary show at Cofton this year, and available to buy for many times over it's worth.
