hello kit car folks...

After many years of umming and ahhing... (mostly ahhhing) I finally bought a 7 type kit to satify the small light car bit of my life, which was apparently missing...

Seems good so far. Vauxhall XE redtop powered with single carb conversion, 5 speed type 9 box, LSD..
Does anyone know anything else about Formula 27's ?
All I know is what comes up on the very basic owners site about there history etc, but not any actual real world experience...

I think mine may have been a factory build as it has a year related plate, used to be Xflow until 2012 apparently...

That looks like serious fun... smokin


Mine runs a little warmer than I'd like, and everything seems correctly connected and set up, water pump and fan runs right way etc.. Or is is poss as I've read that it isn't that uncommon with 7 type cars due to small Polo rad.
