Glad you all had fun. Cheers for the late night group phone call!

Disappointed I missed it but made quite a lot of progress so glad I stayed.

Cheers,

Whats more I pursuaded my mate to sell his Cooper S to buy the kit . Now all I have to do is help him build it!

The K1 Attack has had a good blasting on the middy section, have a read, havent heard much about it recently, but i think they werent too sure on the chassis design. Looks good on the exterior though.

As the for the rochdale, any info on donors or engine and running gear ned, does look very tasty.

in short - grp tub, moggy/bmc/ford/riley/triumph running gear dependant on year and kit options. built in the 60's, about 400 in total were built originally of this model though there was a mk1 and mk2.

Ned

I prefer this if it can be made.


Jasper - 2/5/06 at 09:25 AM

I'm with Ned too - for a change - though it was a great looking car - just a shame it's not a convertable.
