Superb, that car will have been built in a factory about 2 minutes drive from my house, still see plenty around this area (West Wiltshire), they used to road-test them on the local lanes, amazing sound.

I've got the big Marcos book that Jem Marsh put together, will have a look and see if it reveals anything about this car.

 

[Camble]

Great read mate, looking forward to the next update

[Matt Cup]

Coming together nicely! Is that an original colour or just something he fancied it in?

 

[kevin.s]

na, original colour mate.
the trimmer should be coming out to start the interior on monday as he has found a new guy because the old one was taking the pi$$ lol

 

[kevin.s]

well, alots kinda happened since the last time i posted on this thread. the gaffer got sacked and my foreman ended up having to move the the marcos so he didnt get charged for storage from head office (they are good to thier staff like that). so he ended up taking it home and finished it there. all it is missing is an air filter and an mot so once they are sorted its all done.
here a few pics of it when he took it to a local show

he also took his 50`s american truck there too that he previously restored. heres a few pics of that

so there you are. all done
