[Dishevelled Den]

There was a Vauxhall Viscount featured in a television series of the 60's/70's - either the spy or detective flavour - anyone remember what it was?

Randell and Hopkirk (deceased) had a white Victor

They did indeed Pete, I remember that series well. 8-)

Now THAT looks fun.................
and SWMBO couldn't complain about how fast I go (is it a single seater??)

You don't have to fit two. But I suspect with the engine options available you won't get any complaints either way until you get the arse-end out.

Yes please................about the only "kit car" with the exception of the Sei westfield I'd have.

(used to have a Tiger caterham copy....kept it a week, totally rubbish. the original builder must have had pebbles for glasses and pidgeon crap for welds with tape joints on the wiring........scary.)

Do I ever Pete .  There were some great tv shows back then and thanks to ITV4 (never thought I would be saying those words) we can see them once again.

Mind you there was one series that for me at least epitomised the style and verve of the 60's; 8-)

There you have it. A kit car is as good as the guy who built it.

I was looking at a classic example yesterday with my MOT tester (killing time - machine allots him 45 minutes and it takes him 15 minutes to go over my car).

Owner was quite tall so he'd cut a big hole in the rear bulkhead and moved the seat back. So, his @rse is now separated by a bit of fabric and some springs from the rear axle and the tarmac. The trailing end of the seat belt was dangling around by the diff input flange and UJ. Would have made his eyes water when, inevitably, it decided to wrap itself round the propshaft and tighten.
