Background


Of the many options and kits available we have chosen the South African Birkin - a kit which faithfully reproduces the beauty of Colin Chapman's original car and which you build up with component parts from the factory, adding in your choice of engine and transmission.



This holds true to the tradition of garden shed mechanics without requiring quite the level of welding skill, or CAD programming, that some of the amazing, home built clubman cars require. Or at least we hope not, as neither of us have done anything like this before.....

The Chassis arrives

Towards the end of January the chassis arrived, courtesy of Meridian Motorsport, along with lots of wrapped up bits of suspension arms, brakes and callipers. We're hugely grateful to Brenton for delivering it himself - all of the guys at Meridian have been extremely helpful and patient with the hundreds of questions we've had, so thank you one and all!

Even in this rudimentary state it looks great and
many hours have been spent just staring at it.
With a few MDF boards bolted to the delivery frame and the help of a mate the chassis was raised ready for us to begin.
