Hi Nick
I'm not with you on your replies, could you elucidate somewhat please?
Might I be correct that you disparage anyone building a "special" or even an as I've sometimes seen them referred to...an "Ulsteroid"?
There are many of them about, and why not? I understand that "Ulsteroids" exceed the number of genuine EA Sports/Ulsters....does this matter to anyone?
I have to repeat, the Austin Seven spawned the Lotus 6-7/Caterham 7 and what a car, what an evolution! Any rebodied (in an form) Austin Seven has to be good...preventing a chassis and components from being scrapped, not that I really care if they are scrapped or not, however, I wish to build in similar vein to many others an aesthetic looking vehicle to please myself. When I want a really good Ruby, I will look for one and no doubt find one.
I don't anticipate registration problems. I had a contact at DVLA who was very helpful and I started a campaign to have their INF 26 leaflet rewritten as I pointed out that it is totally illogical in many areas, particularly in respect of motorcycle derived vehicles.
I'm a purist of a kind, but also a maverick, but I like tremendous detail, however, I also take the view that if some of the more modern approaches to so many areas of automobile engineering were available then as now, they would have been used!
A simple analogy...if double glazing was available to the Georgian builders...they would have used it!

Arthur
