Thought I'd let everyone know some of what we are doing.
10 years ago I bought a replica Ulster body from a customer. He had owned it for 20 + year. And the owner before him bought it new some 12 year plus. So we can work it out to be well over 40 years old. And it had never been fitted to a car.
The body is one of the first made by Ray pettit.
I've had a lot of nice parts ive collected up over the years, including an original steering wheel.
And last year I managed to buy a rolling chassis and engine, mainly built by TIM MYALL, at the old pigsty works. Plus the gearbox being built up by don rawson.
As I don't have enough spare time, we sent it all up to friends in SCOTLAND last year to be built up.
Here is a picture of the parts ive shown before on the forum. trailered up, heading north.

We collected the car at the weekend.
In the usual stormy, rain, snow, sleet. You name it weather.
And here is the car back home.
Ready for us to finish our work on it.
