Jaguar engined midget/sprite!

The standard of workmanship here is amazing.

Just thought I'd post it as it shows what can be done and may give someone an idea or two.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

It gives me an idea that I'm not worthy!

Wow, wow and wow. Very smart indeed.

OMG, there are some sickeningly fantastically skilled people around. I didnt like the midget bonnet so I made an E-Type one fit ! LOL ! after all the time spent beating a bulge in the original aswell ! Excellent.

Now thats what I call a restoration. I've rebuilt 2 Midgets in my time and that was truely a pukka job !

The rear axle work and front suspension was really top notch. I assume the guy runs a pro restoration firm.





"just like that !"
