Hi

I too have the same type as Kevchard.
I got it from someone who got it from someone etc etc. All in all I think I am the 6th owner but first builder.. See other threads for definitions of "Builder" as you infer ( I believe) that some kits are akin to lego, these certainly are not.

There was no manual supplied, so if you have a copy of one it would be appreciated if you could pass one on.

Mine has a fibre glass floor, with a rounded transmission tunnel.
Bob said he never did round tunnels so have ruled out it being cobretti.
Were any of your sold as kits comprising of these rounded transmission tunnels?? It would be nice to finally identify it for sure.

Like Kev I have learnt a lot of new skills in my endeavours and am enjoying the challenges therein.

I have not got many quibbles about it and went into it with my eyes open so will only have myself to blame (plus trying to put a rover v8 in a ford v6 chassis is less than ideal!!)
I am modifying things to suit my taste and plans so do not have cause for major complaint. I know the components I have are in no way the most perfect ones but this is accountable for from the age and technology (I believe it is mid 80's?) however there is nothing that cannot be sorted one way or another. As has been said elsewhere there are no engineering challenges that cannot be overcome with a suitably sized hammer!

I have resolved myself to not having a manufacturers support but have gained a lot of very useful information and assistance from a lot of very knowledgeable people on this site so please do not attack them for offering help, support and banter.

Regards
