Now that the build of the car is nearly finished he wanted me to take some pics of it. When we set of it looked like the sun might put in an apperance but it didn't quite manage it! Anyway here they are

It should do when it gets set up properly. Nobles in Chesterfield had it for a while but didn't get it running right, so he's changing from the carb to injection. I think he said it should be about 140 bhp and the car weighs about 700kg
