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.....

Heater Fan

We attached the fan to its mounting point by drilling 2 holes in each side and making a small aluminium plate to act as purchase for the rivets. It was then riveted in place and the mounting bolts for the brake and clutch resevoir holder used to clamp the mounting plate firmly to the scuttle. This means that it is firmly attached despite being quite a heavy item and hopefully shuold keep supplying warm air for the Victorian winters in years to come!
