Gavin tells the story so far...Its history is that it was a marshals car at Knockhill racing circuit in Scotland and as far as I am aware has never been registered. Certainly it has never had seat belts fitted. It is getting delivered tomorrow (May 14th '06) and in coming weeks I will find out what else needs to be done engine wise- the chassis looks intact and the body is sound.

It has a grp hard top fitted- looks like a factory option and looks original (Wayne has heard rumours of a hard top in development but is unsure if any made it to the public - could this be the developmental one? Given to Knockhill for testing as it would not go near the road.). And fabric sides- again look original. I haven’t checked the engine no , size or age as yet but do have an old Min manual which may be some help in this.

The chassis definitely matches the Cub specs on the manual as do the wheels, roll bar and bonnet.

Interior is basically dry although it has been left outside for at least 2 years.

Current plan involves, replace floor panel (soft) make engine work and get SVA then dactari decals.

13yr old son looking forward to driving lessons (after mechanic training- alas it has a modern oil filter as the old sort are a prerequisite of trainee mechanics experience in my book!!! ;-)

I for one look forward to seeing/hearing more about this car.
