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 Garage

We started this build in January 2010 but as we have only just got the blog up and running there is a bit of catching up to do.

First off we painted the garage white - it's made a huge difference to the light levels and makes us feel just like F1 engineers. Bit surprised Ross Brawn hasn't called yet. He must be away.
