Cheers Paul,
The panels are a mixture of seconds where the gel has been discoloured. The whole body is to be sprayed white with some red and blue stripes added or some kind of union jack colour system. In other words "on the cheap"
The car is off to an owner of a hgv training centre based in Newcastle who currently races in the Ginetta G20 series but has decided to have a change of direction since they have decided to combine the G20 and G40 into one series. Early January the G20 will be getting stripped and all components, engine, quaiffe box and diff, loom etc which will be getting transferred to the roadster and raced in the Northern Series cup with a second car going on the road soon after with an uprated engine to race in the upto 2.0l class. He's aiming for 2 faster cars at a fraction of the build and running costs. The cars will also be stickered up Saturn....
He is also heavily involved with the local colleges so local kids will have a lot of involvement with the running of the cars. Not allowed to drive them due to college insurance, but i'm sure some will manage to outside of college. This should also help to promote the Haynes Roadster massively for all.
He is also quite involved with Teesside Autodrome and will be putting on a track day, test / shakedown once the car is ready - early February. So there will be spaces available at a good price if other owners would like to bring their cars along whether they be IVA'd or not - will certainly be a good shakedown session. Book them in for a pre-mot in Middlesbrough somewhere and you could even drive them over.
Exciting Times.......AndyH
