Years ago a mate of mine was finishing off a half built Dutton Sierra and it was taking him so long that he bought one of those to tide him over till it was finished. 

 

I helped him with a lot of stuff on them.  I spent a couple of days helping him to fit the windscreen on the Sierra; the aperture wasn't quite the right shape and it took a lot of creative swearing to get it in.  At the end I wasn't sure that it wouldn't just pop out at the first speed bump.

 

He was still running about in it (and trying to finish the Sierra) when I lost contact with him about 20 years ago.

At the local car meet, Bacon & Brakes there was loads of beautiful machines.

A top fuel dragster with 2000hp and a 0 to 60 of 0.8 seconds, a mk II escort with 2.0ltr Zetec and ITB like mine but with a

BDA head. Stunning American muscle and e-types and even an Austin Healy 3000.

I think that's more likely a BDA cam cover rather than head? I saw one in a Seven at Castle Combe and it looked amazing. Was considering one myself but just for cosmetics I'm not sure it's worth the hassle or cost as I think you have to buy new plugs leads too? It did look great though have to say.

 i was actually putting decking down, but have you not been following  the news?

People are afraid to go out in certain places.

Ah, built a few decks myself, great when you get to laying the boards and can stand back and admire. 

Pretty much given up on the news, especially the Bias Broadcasting Company.
