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.

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

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?

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
