As its being built from new will it be on a Q plate?
Or will it have enough new parts to be registered on a new current plate?
Or will it use the old cars ID or is that illegal? LOL

Good news about the new motor will be watching with interest.... but has Martin decided on a paint scheme yet?

How would would a cage like that cost to get supplied and fitted to Jo Schmo?

Also, Can I spy the Reyland Green Mondeo in the background??

filler cap is being used on new car! all of the major mechanical parts survived the accident, the engine,gearbox,f&r diffs, intercooler etc were all unharmed. the mechanical bits that died were mainly suspension components.

100% legal! it works on a points system.... you have to achieve 8 points,second hand parts get no points.... new parts get the same points as original parts... here's a few for you!

the original shell counts as 5
a new replacement shell is worth 5
a second hand shell is worth 0 (q plate time!)
steering rack is 2
engine 1 (maybe 2 cant remember)
gearbox 1
suspension 1
driveshafts/props 1
wheels, tyre,glass,seats,wiring etc do not have any points...

all this info is available on the dvla's web site.............

the mondo got rolled at bedford, it was a very light roll and will be repaired shortly and then either sold or have the escort engine installed for some very aerodynamic top speed runs

I remember seeing a mag feature with the mondy & escort vs a bike if i remember right!

Was quality to see them both seeing off the bike!

The latest spec of Martins Escort did 0-100 in 6.06 didnt it? Thats 1.5 seconds quicker than in that Revs feature! Amazing! The bike was only doing 85 in the same time! Incredible

The new shell look the dogs
Is the car going to be painted the same or are you changing the colours.
Are you doing any more mods to try and break the 200mph barrier which i no is not easy but you are not far away with 194.70mph is that a massive step another 6mph?.

Can,t wait to see it finished. .
