I like the interior on the black car, not quite sure what all the bloody clocks are for though!

Did someone do this for the owner or did he do the interior himself?

Ashame we weren´t there this year, looks like it was a lot of fun.

DRJ,

He did it himself, it's his trade.

As for clocks, he is monitoring just about everything on his engine. DHGTR could probably tell you more.

Would be interested in what the price was... Had a good engine in it...

Does it belong to a pisonheader ?

Well i think im going to play for the otherside and say it isnt my cup of tea.

It does look as though MTV have done a pimp my ride on it.

But im sure once my is completed it wont fit the norm.

Who says less is more

That's a LOT of clocks!

Looks very well finished, but a bit OTT for me. Not keen on the outlining on the exterior either. Still, each to their own

[Crazy of Cookham]

Not all of it was to my taste but had to admire the quality of the work. It looked a bit Ultima gone Zonda inside. Some great ideas on trim. Wish I had the skill to do at least some. Also had nice big supercharged lump in back to move all that weight.

[mrmaggit]

Be interesting to get a cost on that upholstery. Not to everyones cup of tea, but it was a damn sight better than that crap the Italians are equipping their "supercars" with.

Might be worth offering as an option? I understand the owner is in that business?

If you want to speak to the guy Phone Knight Racing Services in Daventry, Peter can fill you in on the engine and will be happy to pass your number onto him.
The engine is a 406ci Kinsler Motec ally block etc.. over 600bhp on the Dyno... Spoke to the chap and he said he would be interested in any offer over £50K. He has bills for over £100K..

The centre console is interesting. There's very little room between the driver/passengers legs but it looks fine from those pics.

After considering various positions in the Can-Am, I ended up with it on the passenger side of the dash, mainly because I've relocated the air-con controls to the dash front. Before you ask, I ditched the horrible bakelite knobs in place of turned ally jobs! The push/pull cable has also been replaced

Which reminds me, better get to work on updating the site - a month's work of work to write about!!!!
