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.

The Meeting will be at the Church Mouse, Chester Moor, DH23RJ. Looking forward to seeing you all again, everyone welcome 

Hi everyone

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.

It's been a quiet August so far with people being on holidays, but remember we still have the Dirty Duck (Sat 23rd) and Stamford Car Show (24th).   But the Group are proposing a picnic meet next Wednesday lunchtime. (20th).

Location will be decided once we know who is coming so we can try and ensure everyone gets about a 1 hour drive,

Please let me know if you would like to join us.

Al   (Area Secretary)

Who like to join the Leicester area for our  Christmas meal on Saturday 13th December. We will contact The Manor House at Quorn once we have numbers.

Please  get back to us asap as this is a popular venue and they are taking bookings. Cheers Sharon & Kerry
 

Hi. My S7 is now MOT exempt as I'm assuming it was built 30 years ago now. I thought it would be easy to do with the form at a post office but I also need a tax renewal form. I won't get that till March 26 when I can claim full historic status. Just trying to save my £55 for another MOT. Any ideas ?

I’m recommissioning my 2b and would like to try a track day. Could anyone recommend one that is just for a bit of light fun? Thanks
