Very well spotted that man :biggrin: Yes, we're looking at exit / entry routes that will make it easier without doors and add to the lines at the same time. That Green car will embody all our new changes in one go. Probably spray it a lovely Scarab Green afterwards.....

Seriously, I have considered putting a foot-hole in the rear (passenger side, at the height of the lights), and a grip-tape patch on a strengthened area (steel beneath) on the rear deck so that I can just walk up the back and step in.

I saw an old chap at Gurston Down get in to his car like this and I was rather taken by it.

And now the news, and we begin with the news that as of yesterday (31st January) we officially began work on our new model :whoo:
We are keeping everything very much under wraps of our new model until launch day (which we are aiming to launch at Stoneleigh) but to wet your appetites I have made a teaser video to keep you hooked!

In other news we have very nearly completed our move to our new workshop, only a few loose ends at the old premises remain!

At the moment that I think is it, unless AndyP57 has anything else to add I bid ye fair well! :eusa_clap:

And now the news!

We begin with our new model!

We have been cracking on and getting it ready to reveal to you all. We are so very close to being able to reveal it but we are still 'tinkering' with things as it were. All the lights are where they should be, the bonnet and boot are also in place and fitted etc but we still have plenty to do. Pricing is now currently being disscussed and we think we have reached a suitable number but that will be announced at a later date but for now we carry on getting the car ready for it's big reveal!

[COLOR="Red"]A sneak peek at the new car![/COLOR]


Next the Navigator!

Not a lot happening with the Navigator at the moment really, we have been again 'tinkering' with things. The bonnet is now all nicely lined up ready to be finally fitted after not being for some time!



And that for now is that unless AndyP57 has anything else to add?

Ooh, I can't wait. With those rear lights is it an homage to the Austin 1100?
