Car owner feedback for D Type
The build quality is excellent. Great support from Adrian at Realm Engineering during the whole build period. Finally got it through the IVA on 27 July 2011, though did have to make a few changes to lights, and leave off the screen. Also fitted silencers to meet the noise requirements, which will now stay on, as they don't look out of place.
Owner Andy Mahon has added that it took 200 hours over 62 months to build at a cost of £25,000.
Superb vehicle that although w have made many changes to the original construction, Eg Aluminium dash insted of Glass fibre, Brass inserts in the door hinges etc, Installed VSE 270+BHP 3.8 goes well handles superb, still own if you count the build time from 1987 about 21 years. I was know as Captain D Type by the RAM factory as I was thier more than some of their staff (Joke) I worked up the road and called in lunch time to watch and learn mostly Very easy to build if you have common sence and some mechanical ability, helped having my father an engineer with aircraft background building with me. fun car that realy stands out in the crowd hope to keep as long as I am enjoying it
