Back from the Dead - Not run in over 35 years!
Discussion
Only so much you can get inside a 15" rim Brumm - that is about it.
ALOT less weight than your Cerb to stop, guessing about 950kg, close close to 200kg less that the Purple Chim.
Spit pedals defo the way to go.
Mine will get plenty or road and track day testing, long before it races - was going to be this year (Silverstone MG Live), but no way that was going to happen by the spring with a new job and amount of travel I was doing. Did it in the 6.

I have the top runners in e-type fia spec brakes, on my pads as well as Lola t70s, big cobras, gt40's, healeys, falcons, etc etc, if you want to try some of my pads, that will stop on its nose with that set up.ALOT less weight than your Cerb to stop, guessing about 950kg, close close to 200kg less that the Purple Chim.

Looking fantastic well worth the years of work as said before if your Dad feels up to adopting another son I could be on the adoption list however I suspect there would be a long list of others in front of me.
Often you see a project that you like but find a few bits that are not quite what you would choose however this is a project that is perfect in every way LOVE LOVE LOVE IT
Looking forward to seeing it out on track maybe you would bring to the Pre 80s so we can see it there.

Those early pic's were just before it was packaged up for the trip to France, to the guy last had it before me. Will be doing plenty of trackdays and testing in it + some Sunday run outs before any racing (next year now), have a few more race this year to do (TR6).
Father has said he would not mind another project after this one - but for his self. he is not sure what yet - Maybe next year.

Nice. What are the bars over the window for?
I'm going to guess, and we'll see if I'm right or not!My Guess: Race regulations state that screens have to be bonded to the surrounding bodywork, or retained by metal fastenings of some description.
As the screen is held in by rubbers only there might be a chance it'd "pop out" if wind comes in the front of the car from an open window.
