It was rebulit in 1996 I believe by William Pack, it was blue with a yellow nosecone. It spent most of its life up in the north East until I bought it
in 2008.

See my above post.
The car was rebuilt in 1996 by a previous owner. It then went through a series of owners until I bought the car in 2008. The bodywork/screen is locust
in origin, but the chassis/suspension is very similar to pre-lit or book but the wheelbase is shorter.

I'll get some pictures up tomorrow. Yes, ally panels, fiberglass long wings, I think the only wood left is part of the scuttle.
