Watch this space!

I know that you (and I think Marcus too) are building one Ian and I am sure that it will be spot on.
Not a loaded question - are you in position, on the back of your special build, to estimate how many hours you think it will take to complete it please?

The current owner does both Spannerman - he enjoys showing it but is not afraid to drive it properly, he does not spare the horses.
I would love to drive it but I am totally unable to get my 6' 3" into it, even with the entire seat and parts of the floor removed. I have been it several times when I was much younger as a passenger - one memorable time flat out in a hail storm - they really hurt your nose at 70mph!

Does anyone Brian Pickup from Rochdale, I’m pretty sure he built one of these 20 plus years ago
