As much as I hate to say it, your mate may have the right idea! I am really missing a fun tin top. Even started looking at Cossies again.

Love the look mate, very classic. I love those wings.

Look's good.

Can i be critical though,i think it would look alot better we the padded type 7 seats,more in keeping with the old style image.

Just my thoughts,not trying to offend its a nice looking car

Mick

Superb looking car!!!

Good looking car Shaun.

What size are the wheels?

David

Thanks for the comments! I would love padded seats but being 6ft 2 I need all the room I can get!! I stuggled to get those seats to fit and they are only 40cm wide. The wheels are 14" - I will be fitting 13" wheels when I can afford a new set.

Thanks again

It looks great, Shaun.

I was home alone today and went out far a major blat too, should have headed your way.

Will you bring it to the next meet* so we can have a proper look?

*Monday 2 March, not this week but next.

While I was laying bricks in the garden

can i have both?

I do like the look of the old-fashioned clamshell wings - although I know some people don't. I also know about the possible aerodynamic problems at high speed, but I doubt that would bother me at the sort of max speeds I do.

They do have a few significant good points though - they aren't likely to suffer from fractured stays as often the cycle wings do, when combined with a silencer guard they do a good job of keeping people away from the exhaust, and they reduce the amount of muck that hits the driver/passenger.

Does anyone know if any supplier still makes them?

Looking good. Quality old school Locost

looks nice, let me know if you want to sell them wheels,

Very nice
Bet you thrashed the tintop

Really lovely looking 7, I also like the clamshell wings. Think I will go down that route on the Roadster.

Great looking car, one of the nicest seen on this site.
Clamshell wings, proper windscreen, Minilite wheels, classic colour, it all looks just so right.

Thanks for all the nice comments, there are some things I wish I could change on it, that paintwork is abit tatty, and the ally panels are abit tatty too.

My main concern was to get it on the road and drivable before I spent any money on aesthetics!

Thanks Again

Shaun
