A little bit of an update for those interested.
The interior is almost done, hopefully next couple of days.
Engine build, dyno, running under load in mule car, finalise mapping, likely mid-end Oct. Fingers crossed.
You can see some of the details starting to come together now.
I decided to partially wrap the Titanium rear cage in leather. The painted shell is 9kg lighter than the gold car as they have developed the carbon panels a bit more. So I am reinvesting in the aesthetics and ambiance. Part of the fun of the project is stretching your own creativity.
The result I think is stunning:
To their credit, Tuthill are still developing some details. The door tops are now in carbon:
And the handbrake and reverse lever look cool:
The tribute items to the Carrera GT:
The dash top doesn’t have air vents, to keep the look clean. Instead the screen is heated, which works very well on Tuthill’s Sweden rally cars:

This being PH, of course there is some deviated stitching. The air vents in the dash are very cool, they open and close by twisting them clockwise and anti clockwise:
Then there are the nice mechanical details.
Titanium arb and arb adjuster, plus trick Motion Control passive dampers with custom valving, and ceramic brakes:
Custom titanium handbrake caliper:
Weight saving by shaving down the bonnet catch
Fuel tank, with filler inside the bonnet, and front damper adjuster in background:
Hand painted bonnet crest:
