Jasons PI GT6


With all running gear bolted on the new chassis we eventually got the body in position last week and the car is now looking more like, well.. a car.
The 2.5 gearbox fits a treat and has no clearance issues at all, all that's left is some fuel pump/line fitting, bit of interior stuff, paint bonnet , glass, electrics, hydraulics...hmm quite a bit.

Vitesse 1600 saved..


Picked up a 1600 Vitesse today from Nottingham. i shouldnt of bought her but if she wasnt sold this week she was off to scrap as the owner from new "Allan" was having a new drivway put down for his new car.
Made in JULY 1962 and used as a demonstrater for 12 months then used every day by Allan until 1994, she had a new factory chassis in 1974 and a factory rear shell (mk2 vitesse)and was fitted with a GT6 MK3 engine soon after that so a very checkerd history indeed.
Her future is undecided as i would love to keep the car as overall a great car just needs bonnet and doors oh and roof but i have enough projects on the go for myself that i think it would be a bit greedy to keep another so she may have to go to be loved by someone else.Could supply all the bits needed to.. a kind of kit project as would love to see her on the road again as would the previous owner..
