Hi folks, I'm a newby member. Bought my 2000 kit build SE Narrow as a resto project from Bangers and Cash almost exactly 2 years ago. I'm an old fart, well into pensioner age and this was acquired as a 'memory lane' project having, in my late twenties, briefly owned an S2 Lotus 7 wearing 'The Prisoner' make-up. Upon collection from Pickering, closer inspection of the more or less stock 1600 Kent revealed that it had visibly blown a core plug and the decision was therefore made to carry out a 'zero hour' restoration on the whole car. The chassis was in pretty good nick for an exclusively track day'd car but everything else was tired. So, what have we done last year, this year, this week and today? Rear axle and brakes have been totally reworked with Quaife ATB LSD. Type 9 gearbox has been totally reworked. Front brakes are now Wilwood 4 pot. Rad has been flushed and restored. Engine build has been in the capable hands of Roger at Aldon Automotive in Brierley Hill, the work starting with a bare block chemical clean. Build has lightened flywheel, balanced and uprated bottom end and HD Helix clutch. Also has 244 cam, Duplex Vernier with access cover, Burton 2A big port/big valve head, HP oil pump, Samco hoses, Facet fuel pump, pressure regulator, new twin 45 DCOE's on Mangoletsi, uprated water pump with new alternator and Gates Tooth belt drive, Aldon electronic ignition and throwback lighting including headlight baskets and Lucas 1130 Torpedo sidelights. Car is in Westfield BRG with now of course, an LO7 yellow nosecone! Proper screen is waiting in my workshop together with wiper kit. Home made screen pillars (aka original Carbuilder/Lotus 7 style) yet to be formed from 5mm sheet ally. Stainless sheet ready to be English Wheeled to fit rear arches. Original Federal tyres had aged to consistency of concrete and (experimentally) replaced with Davanti Protoura road/track boots from Demon Tweeks. Bookend shots were at Bangers & Cash. Work in progress pics were taken at Aldon at beginning of year. Cost? Enough to initiate divorce procedings if my management finds out. Plans? Well here's a clue. I live 6 miles from Shelsley Walsh. Plus a mandatory photo shoot at Portmeirion! Best, NotMcGoohan

I've been thinking about ordering these for some time and finally got round to ordering them a week or so ago, and they arrived this week. I wanted a matching pair, and for my daughter to have the security of a six point harness to eliminate the risk of her slipping under the lap belts of the four point. I got the two free key rings (so I should think for the cost of the harnesses!) which match the car colours quite well. I've gone for the ultralite adjusters, and was very pleased with them when I drove to our meet last night.

Hopefully I’ll be there.

Probably will be coming. Out Saturday night though….

Remember to change out of your clown outfit before the run 👍

Set of 4. wheels are immaculate 13 x 7. With Ford/Westfield BCD. Westfield centre caps Toyo R888R 205 x 60 x 13 GG compound on all 4 Tyres are evenly warn. See photos for tread depth. I believe they have only been used on the road. They are a little old. Date code is 2018, but it’s been dry stored and done very few miles in that time. They still feel plenty grippy to me. The Cars a tourer, so I’ve swapped to 15s and a more road focused tread. £650ono. Collection only. South Sheffield. please PM me if your interested

You two are a right pair of Softies😀

Yep - will post up later..

Looks like Andy Forrest is moving over... https://racecarsdirect.com/Advert/Details/153917/westfield-72-v8-4wd-twin-turbo

Should be good for this run😁👍

Thats a great help. I've discovered that as I have a full cage the standard one's wont fit. But these patterns will help me to get the rough shape and amend them to fit around the cage. So thanks very much, much appreciated. Its been doing my head in every time I go out getting blasted with wind around the side of the windscreen.

Almost 2 years since this was on the road, it feels great. I was thinking about how times change - 20 years ago by comparison with most normal cars it was light and quick, but now it's tiny, light and still quick. Almost more fun than ever, because it makes small roads feel reasonably sized again!

We’re good for Sunday 🤗 but I’ll paint the picture now !!!! At a birthday party on Saturday 🎉 we won’t be hungover as it’s a 2 & 4 year olds but there’s a bouncy castle 🤪 🤡 and jelly/ ice cream 🍦and cake 🎂 so acheing and feeling bloated/sick might be on the agenda, and we loose an hours beauty sleep as the clocks go forward. See you there 👍 ps @AndrewBClarke my mom has let me come out to play because I’ve been good, I don’t need to go butter her up 🤣
