    The one that was on eBay I'm guessing? The car looked to have potential with a nice wide arch kit, are you planning to do anything with it?

    I haven't put them on the scales yet, but I would guess they're about 4 or 5kg each. I will check properly soon, but as they have full carbon inner skins there is scope to reduce the weight further .

    I will have to sort out some sort of external handles for them, as the regulations require the doors to be able to be opened from outside in case of accident etc. They had TVR-style buttons under the mirrors on the car they were previously on.

    Yes, it was that car off EBAY.

    The shell is really nice and solid, and has one of Phil Baines's wide arch kits on it, so it's a proper job.

    The cage is a full welded-in Custom Cages one, and I have a feeling it's a T45 one as well.

    I will have to sell it in due course, I just haven't got the spare cash to keep it myself.

    I saw that car and did think of you Colin. Hats off to you for buying the whole car, sometimes you have too.
