The rear wings are from Chris Gould. Geoff told me that the whole body was planned by mounting the rear wings temporarily and going from there! Bit like Heath Robinson building his house and starting with the chimney pot.
The photo doesn't really do it justice. It has a rather 'Breadvan' Ferrari appearance for those who know their motor racing history. The sunroof is from a Fiat Topolino. At the back there is a tailgate and the number plate is enclosed in the fairing at the rear of the roof, just visible on the photo. The window frames were from a Mini and the ex-Ruby windscreen and scuttle were mounted to suit the rake.
Although a proud Nottingham chap, Geoff is an honorary Yorkshireman in that he likes to use bits and pieces he has lying around and doesn't part with his brass unnecessarily. He doesn't do the internet but is an absolute mine of information and is blessed with a fantastic memory, especially for trivia. He will be known to many Forum members for his book on Bert Hadley which is a cracking read.
