It won't have helped either that Jonny and Brian have had to move their workshops to a different part of Bristol Avenue due to demolition work. They've also been pushing the boundaries here by using a single ECU to run the V12 engine as opposed to the usual practice of using two (6 cylinders each)

Get someone like Syvecs involved?

They are working directly with the ECU people and it's the first time they themselves had seen it done. It's not an issue it's just taken time, along with other issues and time.

Is there any update or news on this project? Pics would be awesome even if not a lot has changed.

Just a base map but gives you an idea. Rear wheels move under own steam etc so not far off..

Best consumed with volume on high..

Great to see and hear! Made my day that.

Fantastic stuff. You say not far off so are there any timescales in place?

How is the original car getting along?

Timescale is rolling road dependant and a few bits to finish off. Original car is back at the Lakeland Motor Museum following a tidy up.. I could use a picture or two if anyone is planning to visit the place.
