Have just discovered this thread looking for something else!
I believe my Ulster replica was one of the first bodies Chris produced, and the first to be built with the full touring wings. It also featured as the frontespiece in the first edition of his Ulster build manual. It went to the 1977 IOM Queens silver jubilee rally in 1977, and recorded the favourite comment of the week, when an old couple looking at it on the Seafront in appreciation commented that " I bet there is no fibreglass in that one". Didn't have the heart to disillusion them.
Was sold in the mid 80's to a pea farmer in Suffolk somewhere, who had a barn full of collectible cars, and used money he obtained from the pea crop that left over from that contracted to Birds Eye or similar, to enhance his collection.
haven't a clue where it went after that, probably still there!
