So this one is having a new chassis made ....



and the bonnet modification undone



and the Triumph Vitesse floorpan cut out with a dustpan and brush



TR4 engine gearbox prop back axle and wheels all laid out to work out what the chassis should look like. Will be similar to the Fairthorpe Zeta in Aberdeen but 3" tube not box.

Loom will be the same as the Electron Minor but with alternator ..

Already found all the steering rack, lights and a few other bits ....

Good news is the work is farmed out to a local fabricator ...

Nice, had one like that years ago, and went to look at a half-built roadster a few months ago (too much work/aggro smile )

So this is the TR4 based "mock up" .. engine will go further back and have Webers to make it fit.
