Hi all im new to the site, I was wondering if anyone would know anything about the kaig mini special kit car 

Hi everyone 

I was wondering if anyone has built a kit as electric at first registration as opposed to converting an existing registered car 

I'm considering it but trying to get any direct answers from the dvla about what particular hoops they would want me to jump through seems impossible

and i don't want to spend the time and money just to find out it's prohibitly expensive, so if anyone has any insight or knowledge on the subject I'd love to hear it

i have already done an electric conversion of a BMW Z3 https://zroadster.org/threads/z3-ev-conversion.53049/

Thanks

Bit later than normal posting this one. 

Next Wednesday 24th 6pm onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL.

Entrance to the pub car park is off the A452 Chester Road heading North 50 yards from the island.

Everyone welcome, see you there

Our September meeting is on the last day of the month at the Church Mouse, Chester Moor DH23RJ. As usual all are welcome. Hopefully the weather will be favourable so we have a good turn out of cars, as this is usually the last meeting for a lot of owners to bring out their cars before taking them off the road for the winter. Hopefully you will be able to attend,Alan

After 10+ years & still not getting my hood finished (various other projects, hobbies, house renovation etc) & now another house & barn to renovate I've come to the decision that I need to let go of the idea of ever finishing it.

Do I cut my losses & risk selling on eBay (with a reserve so I don't totally lose out) or do I break it.

It's an 85% complete series 3A so not most ideal to get through an IVA (all the common issues where strengthening/bracing etc that are required has been done).
Engine alone is probably worth more than I would get on eBay for the entire car (2.1 pinto, big valve ported head, race cam, lightened & balanced, new twin 45 DCOE's (well new when I fitted them several years ago in the build process), oil cooler, high torque starter motor
Good low mileage type 9  5speed gearbox.
Cobra seats with brand new unused 4 point harnesses
New brakes all round (including focus rear disc conversion)
Focus wheels (4 fitted with new Toyo Proxes & 4 spares)
Correctly marked laminated windscreen
All new track arms, rod ends, bushes & tie rod conversion.

Someone is running an ‘L’ suffix registered  Westfield in pre 74 competitions and I’m not sure they existed back then?

I understand some could carry an older reg of the donor vehicle, but it’s 1400 Vauxhall engined.

The Mot history shows it first registered in October 1972, is it likely to be above board and legal?

Next Wednesday 27th 6pm onwards, Malt Shovel Pub, Coventry Road, Nr Stonebridge, Coventry, CV7 7HL.

Entrance to the pub car park is off the A452 Chester Road heading North 50 yards from the island.

Everyone welcome, see you there.

Hi everyone

Fernleys Ice cream is holding a charity event on Saturday 13th September from 10am. I've been asked to see if anyone would like to come and display their cars. It is in aid of prickleback urchin hedgehog rescue. Cars will need to be there by 9.45

With it being at the cafe, food and drink is available as well as mini golf and indoor and outdoor children's play areas. There are 17 different flavours of ice cream to choose from.

There will also be a few market stalls and a tombola.

Let me know if anyone is interested as will need numbers.
