I must admit that I fast forwarded about 15 minutes to see if this was worth watching ! Its a bit cringing at the start but worth listening to what turns out to be quite a story !!

My own story- always wanted one but couldn't afford the real thing!!!
MOTed my Z300S Barchetta for the 7th time yesterday.

I've had a chat with Chris, the new body he is going to offer is on my shopping list for next year !

Great guy. I had to convince myself it wasn't Paul Whitehouse.

Looks like a Triumph Herald chassis required- wheelbase is only 10mm longer than the 300S.

Or an MX-5 at +20mm.

I was thinking of an existing kitcar chassis such as an NG or similar. A Herald chassis would work but something more substantial would be better. The NG range were all capable of taking bigger engines and are pretty strong.
