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.....

IM240, the emissions.......

Well, we can hold back no longer. The car went to VIPAC a couple of weeks back and..........passed the IM 240 with flying colours! To say we are happy is an understatement. We can only thank Paul Flourentzou and the guys from Chasers Motorworks once again - it was Paul's tuning skills and their help that got us through first time. In fact we got in well under the required emissions levels, so they really pulled it off.
It's not an easy route to take but hopefully this shows what's possible with an aftermarket ECU and throttle bodies.
