really fancy this and the price for the panel set isnt much more than any of the seven types, its a dooster by the way but the chassis they supply
is a ladder with live rear and front clip from cortina /granny. if my spaceframe will fit under the main tub it could be a goer, opinions
please
NIIIIIIICCCEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
go for it!!
Very nice, but i reckon arches will spoil the lines. Still worth a go tho. needs a V8 too.
little black arches i think and the spaceframe has a rovver lump in it already the whole panel set is £1250 and a screen an extra £250 with
metalwork. the roof can be bolted on too but ive not seen one in the flesh yet so what the quality is like i dont know
i agree v8 needed and arches would need some careful design
And how do you get in with the roof on!!!
Pat...
I like it in yellow

"And how do you get in with the roof on!!! "
most likely open the door!
the glass with framework is a bit taller than the aeroscreen

i think that cycle wings alll round would look the part

I grew up on a diet of these cars, good old chrome & flames mag's
That styles about as old as the tina behind it. Look in custom car mag for suppliers. most had rover 8's in them and were super simple, I
remember one if bright pink AAAAHHH!! how awful was it
I always thought the hard top looks better and preferred full fenders, people made the grills from stolen shopping trolleys he he
oh the good old days...rarely see one in shows now
certainly old school but the most successful kits are all replicas arent they. it certainly looks like it could be more useable than a seven if the roof and screen are any good
i'm going to be buying a kit from them some time next year i hope want to see them first

You see loads of hot rods without wings. Maybe these are conversions and dont require SVA unlike a kit build. Could always take them off after!
Yes there are thousands round here (NOT) . If the wheels aren't covered it's not road legal. I got cautioned for having too much
tyre exposed on a Mini, and it failed it's MOT for it. It might be good for California but imagine the cowsh!t sprayed up the side round here and
you'll soon think it's not such a great idea.
I love them BIG time. If i build again it will probably be a hot rod.
Have you ever watcher American Hotrod on the telly? Awesome cars on there.
FYI - A friend looked at buying a Dooester a couple of years ago but wasn't too impressed with the panel quality. May have improved since
then.
Supposedly SVA-exempt as they "re-use" (ahem) 1920s chassis.
Not my cup of tea!
This car seems to me very nice.
Ahhh, couldn't see any doors on the top silver one.

Eh, too American hot-rod for my liking... and I'm an American.

Always had a soft spot for "rods", there's one locally built on a Standard Flying 12. He's still got it, and I was 15 when he
first got it on the road - he'd just used 2 or 3 gallons of fuel for a 6 mile trip
I'm 40 now, so he's had it a while.
Me, I always wanted a T-bucket. Anyone remember Andromeda, maybe a 5 window Model B
ATB

Oh yes I do love the old T hot rods.
Always a whacking great supercharged v8 on a car that weighed about the same as a crisp packet. Truly beautiful motors, probably all sold to private
collections now, shame. Outrage was my favourite, god I loved that car, can’t even find a pic on the web to show you.
