This is all very well, but how is a gentleman going to drive this modified vehicle while 'sans chapeau'? 

There is far too much slippage of standards these days without the contribution of reduced headroom in one's Ruby causing a fashion faux-pas.

Hi Bluebird7, I like it!  Would you give us some details please.  What's under the bonnet, what chassis, who built it, more pics, etc.
Cheers

"Each to his own" - it's good that we dream differently. It would be boring if all Austin Seven specials looked the same. 
I deliberately didn't chop the roof down because I dislike the American hot rod look on English cars.

Graham, as I understand the core vehicle is a Caterham, with the Ruby body eased around the chassis, It's a fairly well known car I first saw about 5 years ago,
