Hi Chaps, here is mine for what its worrh. Bought it as a stock item,

(alt+p)

Various tell tales inform me that it has been restored twice. 1984 and 2008.

Since I've had it. I've rebuilt the suspension 3/4 anti roll, telescopic dampers.
rebuilt carbs, no.7 needles to suit trumpets on the intakes and Bell exhaust manifold and system. The head went off to Peter Burgess for his Econotune mod.
Ignition is Stealth black box.
Its running on an 18v581 engine.
It might be a no matching numbers "Frankinstien", but its not a horror story.

The Leyland S.T. front end was liberated from a race car, the yellow fogs are genuine Cibie.
Current jobs are to make it water tight before new carpets. I picked up a Snugtop" hardtop for a tenner, cleaned up nice just needs new brackets and seals. [img][/img]
