Terrapin plans
As one of the starting points for my next project I am tiring to get hold of a set of plans for the Terrapin originally designed by Alan Stanniforth.
Any one have a set or now of a link to purchase the book or set of plans …
Cheers
Paul

Can't find anyone that still sells the book (totalkitcar.com used to, but it's not there anymore, and amazon don't even have any at
sill money).
There is a forum for them here which is probably your best bet.

"Terrapin_racing" on here is building one.
Until chris's book is launched this one might have useful information, I think some on here have bought it iirc.

You can buy plans from Allan Staniforth himself.
You can also buy the amended plans to include the back end to take a Bike Engine.
I have a brand new copy of High Speed Low Cost (the book you need to go with the plans for the Terrapin) that I was thinking of selling along with
another couple of books, so if you are interested in that, then drop me a U2U.
Cheers...

I thought the terrapin book was a great read (i'm definately not selling my copy). I've got the motorbike engined single seater book and
wasn't impressed.
I think its a combination of styles and content. The terrapin details different terrapin builds and designs, along with a nice writing style. The bike
engined book - i didn't like the style and it didn't have enough detail for me on one car being built, just lots of bits of information.

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!
