Triton Wide Fiberglass seats with Sabelt harnesses and roll hoop. (I have a freshly upholstered pair of elise seats for it that cost me nearly 1K which i will also include if the car goes for full asking price.)
For those that don't know me this is a very well Known car! I write for CKC Magazine and its whole build has been covered in the Magazine, including the Saab Engine Upgrade. Thruxton Body conversion pending print (but all documented in anticipation).
The car is Mechanically Spot on its an absolute weapon and a pleasure to drive either at leisure pace or full out Blat Attack Mode. It has done more European and UK tours than i can shake a stick at as well as most of the big car shows. This year it completed two tours one down to the black Forrest in Germany and the other was a 5000 Mile trek from the uk, into france, belguim, netherlands, germany, denmark, sweeden, finishing in NORTH NORWAY and back to the UK again! Both trips completed without any problems or break downs.
Now for the bad bits.
The interior is what i would describe at best as utilitarian, others would say unfinishedI It needs a new dash and carpeting out, plus the under dash wiring tidying up a little. its perfectly functional but just not beautiful.
The body Gel Coat is nice and shiny but i haven't got round to removing the mould flash lines on the rear of the tub yet (i will try and do this before sale if not i will include the tools to do it including the electric polisher). I was intending to fully paint the car metallic blue which is why i never removed the flash lines but that's not going to happen now.
The black band that goes over the bonnet for the tour stickers is not the best paint finish (the paint reacted and i havent had time to redo it) it doesnt look awful but its not perfect and in an ideal world it needs rubbing down again and a fresh coat of paint
The rear boot section is not yet fully boxed in. So things in the boot get wet!
The bonnet could do with quick release locks and lifters fitting but its so reliable its not really bothered me.
One of the mirror bases is slightly damaged but has been repaired with plastic metal.
This car is my PRIDE & JOY it has been loved pampered and garaged its whole life. It has a few cosmetic minor flaws as mentioned above but it also has a monster specification! Due to its Specification, uniqueness and Provenance with CKC I am asking for £7000. For that the car will come with everything listed above and boxes of spares that i have built up and stored over the years. Located in Rochester Kent, Test drives will only be permitted with fully Comp insurance, or full purchase price cash in my pocket on account of how fast it is.
