My uncle is developing one of his outbuildings into a retirement flat, so decided to deliver a chassis I started many years ago (by my estimates, about 1998- 1999 ish)
and when I moved house it was put into the loft of the building for "a wee while, just 'till I get somewhere to put it"and then we both forgot about it!
It's surprisingly well on, and remarkably few bits have gone missing. I sold the engine from it fairly quickly atfet it went into storage - It took a Mid mounted Imp engine, and was strongly inspired by the Ecurie Ecosse Imp F4 cars of the mid '60s.
Front wishbones were fabricated to Triumph geometry (they have not been found yet, or the Uprights / Hubs etc) The rear was home designed on a 'string computer' as inspired by Alan Stanniforth's Terrapin, and used Mini front uprights (also lost / recycled)
I am due to take delivery of my current '60s clubmans car project asap, so looks like this one'll become a climbing frame for the kids in the back garden. I think it'll look good with flowerpots in the engine bay - My wife isn't so sure!

Why do we do these things?
