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.....

Carbon Canister and Fuel Reg 2

Not earth shattering but I remade the bracket for the carbon canister from aluminium strip - it won't rust and I can almost hear Mr. Chapman's approval. Or maybe it's Gordan Murray....one of the two. I also added a moisture/dust trap to the manifold pressure outlet on the fuel reg - this isn't used in my car as it's non turbo - by coiling some hose and lock tie-ing it on.
