Ulster - MV 1344
#21
A couple of more small bits to try and answer. (Less than 24 hours after seeing it for the first time!!)

Looks like the steering wheel might be Blumels, the centre is odd though so maybe not be A7 fitment. The red "bit" is just a cover that looks like it will come off easily enough.

Gearbox and back axle look like they are original fitment, it is VERY low though and getting underneath it was tricky yesterday.

It won't be going back to "just" another Ulster. I already have a very nice replica one of those.

However the dilemma we do have is that we now have:

1. This car with a special body that has a fair bit of original Ulster floorpan.
2. A (partly) original Ulster TT body looking for something to go on.

The body and floorpan won't match up as the TT is narrower than a "normal" Ulster.

The obvious answer is to get another Ulster set of running gear, but after waiting nearly 20 years for this one I might be pushing it!

This all started with me looking for old pictures in the LAT Archive for the TT body, from there I have met and chatted to many knowledgable people, (and some not so!) I honestly think if I hadn't been digging out those photos I wouldn't have been in touch with the person we bought this off.
