Fantastic.. Really well done.

Thanks for the comments. Here are a couple more pics.. Martin

Thank you for all the comments, Here are some photos taken at the Eastleigh show last weekend. I will post some more photos up of the interior, engine etc soon. It was really great driving the car on the open road. Its still in the very early shakedown phase but It didn't let me down getting...

Its almost finished.. I drove it for the first time yesterday on public roads. It certainly drew some attention. Driving impressions were great although I never got above 40mph. Steering is light, clutch really easy, gearchange good although a little stiff going into fourth, visibility no big...

Hey Chris, I'm nearing completion of an MDA, although its probably more Southern GT than MDA now. Welcome and enjoy. Martin

Hey Malcolm, Thanks for the invite. I think Mick is a little sceptical about a finish before September. He's actually booked me into the Eastleigh show on Sept 8th already so that he has a real deadline to work to. If its done by 31st August, I would love to make it, but I won't put any pressure...

Paint is on the car.. So pleased with the result. Only the rear clip and nostril panel to get done, then its back for fit up. All smiles now :thumbsup:

Have you talked to both companies at length and discussed exactly what you want to achieve ? With any small business you need to be sure you will recieve your product on time as promised and have the back up you need throughout the project to finish it. You should get a sense of who you feel...

You are a legend Glenn ! You can teach me to go fast in mine when I eventually get it back from the paint shop.... Maybe, If I ask nicely..

Hi Jim, The large rear ones are aircraft landing lights from WW11 aircraft. They are quite readily available on ebay in the U.K but the blue ones are a bit harder to find. I have a red one on mine + a spare. I also have a green one that doesn't look good with a red car. The front one is a...

Its the later type of chassis, the series 2. You can tell from the rear horseshoe. This is what I've got. Martin

I'm with Hagerty. 3K miles/Yr, Needed a Tracker fitted and its quite expensive but I struggled to find an insurer that did better given its a new car (62 plate) and valued at over £50K. Martin

Dave, There are usually a few on ebay over here. Here's one I found pretty quickly LOTUS ELAN S3 - DASHTOP GRILLE - HEATER. FORD GT40 KITCARS ETC. | eBay If they ship to the U.S, you could take a punt. Martin

Forgot to add Darrin, Good luck with your build. Its an exciting time. Martin

Believe me, I know how frustrating it is to have an incomplete kit of parts. However, you can't be sore at another manufacturer for not helping you out, especially a direct competitor. It would be a favour if they did, nothing more. The fact that they choose not too is not meant personally I'm...

Helmets great Frank, Many thanks and Happy New Year. Martin

Hi Keith, Nice job mate. Were the decals a pain to apply or not too bad ? I'll be in the same position as you in a couple of months time and don't know whether to tackle the job myself or not. I'm going to get the stripes done by an experienced pro as there are some areas that need stretching...

Was this the latest MDA chassis Martin? I know that SGT have had input but I must say I like the way the car sits. From what I remember, the latest (or last) MDA chassis had some nice parts especially the uprights. Is that a practical ride height for the road? Hi Kieth, Yes, Its the very...

Hi Jimmy, Thanks for the comments. That's the look I wanted. Very happy with the way its turned out so far.
