NOT YET......

We have made 2 lhd examples for a Dutch guy and we get lots of enquiries from France...a company called Sport et Classique are looking to find a Vitesse to build one at the moment and I had an email from a guy called Pascal only today about the bodies ...no one else has actually bought one yet though......

Hi Mark,
Nope not too late ! We have got the front end made and I have bought some headlights , but its not a problem....someone else will have them.

I think the newer front is a lot prettier , so agree with your choice............In fact as I type , I have just thought of a customer who'll have the lights ! ( we are doing a one-off newer front with Beetle headlights for a chap from Taunton ) !!

Saw the photos of Jeanette's finished car; looks superb.

Just had a thought about extra ventilation on my car and would like to run an idea past you. Suggestion is to make two exit holes, either side of the bonnet, near the back line and just above the fastening straps, to allow the hot air to escape.

What do you think?

The french progress puts mine to shame, I only get to it weekends in a single garage. I started mine 8/1/11 with a part restored herald, spending this weekend putting the engine together next time I recommend getting a running donar car. But there again I know the engine is a good un now the Ignition system is getting the same treatment just for reliability point of view. God I'm Loving This Build....PAT j28 M5 Devon
