Just imported this beauty, it has no seat belts and also is a chassis number pre mounting points being built into the chassis. Can anyone suggest a company who might be able to fit some belts that will not look too out of place?
Thanks

Booked into Quickfit on the 14th July, very helpful and informative so far, will report back when done.

All back from Quickfit SBS with three point inertia period style belts fitted. Can't recommend them highly enough, very helpful and accommodating, only took them 3-4 hours. They were kind enough to let me leave my trailer there which they clamped for me. I then popped over to the RAF museum at Hendon http://www.rafmuseum.org.uk/london/ while they worked their magic.
The belts are perfect, they have made a great job of the installation and solved the hood up/down issue with a simple clip solution on the bottom mounting point. The reels are tucked away up above the wheel arches in the boot nicely. I'll take some pictures when I get a chance.
Now just need to get the DVLA to speed up a bit, documents lodged on the 11th June, still waiting for confirmation of UK reg plate.

No MOT requirement, did it because we both wanted the security for us and our children, comes of being from the 'clunk click every trip' generation. Planning to do a lot of stuff in this car here and abroad and we don't trust other drivers!!

We absolutely love the car and now having MOT'd it, done the seatbelts, completed a service, we are really frustrated by the DVLA. They just seem to take forever, despite making sure we supplied all the correct paperwork in very good time etc.
