Ultima Can Am photos

[DJWuk]

So 356Speedster popped round last night for a quick spin out in his new Can Am.

What a beautifully finished car, with great attention to detail. Real credit to Mark there.

Car absolutely flies, sounds great and super smooth. Good package there from AB.

Anyway managed to grab a couple of snapshots as the light was dropping :-









And the final one. Do you think he's enjoying the car




Le Mans here we come !!!!

Cheers muchly Dave, great pics! It was great to get out on the road and enjoy the fruits of yrs hard graft... now if only you could just teach me to take a decent photo of the car ;-)

Great photos Mark and the Can-Am certainly looks TOP! Regarding making photos, why don't you try and talk to some of the photographers that do photos of Ultimas, GF Williams for example or talk to Dom on here (some tasty shots done recently and posted on here).

I very much like the smooth flowing line of the Can-Am with the speedster screen and wingless. Now the only thing which bugs me is the height of the mirror stalks. Definitely too high IMO.

If you look at my "Swiss" logo, I got my niece who designed it to reduce the height of the mirror stalks. It certainly fits better. What do you think?

Oh I forgot to add Mark, I like the registration n° and reference to your initials...

I really love the low screen, it's got the perfect ultra-low look I wanted. Not having the rear spoiler helps exaggerate this too

Regarding the mirrors, I'm in 2 minds, Daniel. I like the way their height exaggerates the lowness of the car, but also, it's odd looking up into them from the driver's seat.

Cheers..... MMH are my full initials, I have the same short reg on my RS just with a different prefix (which means nothing before you ask!).

Both cars look stunning. It's been great to follow the build and now see it on the road, 356 - nice job.

Yep looks great. How does it compare to the Aton Mark?

Fantastic job and amazed how good it does look with Aero and no wing. Also like the position of N plate, not seen that done before. I guess now thro IVA mirrors could be at any height especially if you don't go for wing. Always wondered about using aero on track (never have) and have seen one at Silverstone due to being hit Massa stile?. Once had a hit by a bolt on full screen and very grateful not to have stopped it with crash helmet visor.

Enjoy that car and keep smiling.

looks great,!! nice to see the aero screen in place. Get a much more raw feeling whilst driving. Watch out for the rain drops at 130 mph they hurt big time!
