I want to build a competition car with a light GRP shell based on a small 1930s saloon/sedan. The small size requirement means that UK manufacturer design will be best for me (e.g. Austin, Morris).
I've googled but can't identify any UK-based source of a small 1930s UK GRP body.

Any suggestions or leads that I can follow-up would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

Dale at DRE would be probably the best person to talk to.

Unfortunately contacting him is a bit like visiting Brigadoon! You have to keep trying as he has no phone signal in his workshop and you pretty much have to try when he leaves.

Hi Mark,

I believe they are, but I don't have anything to do with them any more. All got way too much agro for me when the new rules got brought in about what was and wasn't allowed in.

Used to be second Tuesday of the month if it is happening smile
