Hi Folks, after viewing Antons re-build I thought I would adda another one to the forum. I have a customer who bought a well neglected Kent engined Birkin 7 of 1980's vintage. The brief has been to restore the car to a "Classic" look and retain the Kent engine. Have a look!

Clive, the suffix to "NUT BEHIND THE WHEEL" has now been proven as a load of unadulterated hogwash!!!

Not only have you produced a great "Classic" but the obvious craftsmanship and workmanship should force you to remove the part of the statement being "master of none"!!!!!

Congrats on an exceptional restoration ... that cannot be called a re-build. Applause

Nice one Clive!

If everything is going well and seems under control, you're just not going fast enough.
