spyder silverstone
Have joined the Spyder conversation late, I built one of the first Silverstones having seen the car at the Esher it Car show.I set out to buy a Caterham but was impressed by the advanced engineering and quality of the Spyder which one the day.I built the car without instructions and received the kit in installments as they were still getting the production up too speed. Mine had the Toyota 1600 twin cam and 5 speed gearbox and was painted silver.I also designed and built aluminium full length sidescreens ( with sliding perspex windows, like a Caterham 7 mk 4 ) and a targa hardtop. I sold it a few years ago to a guy who took it to France.
Vic Moore the company MD was a lovely guy ,but left the company and moved to Texas when he married, have not heard from him in a long while. Loved the car but eventually changed it for an Elise ( so many cars so little time ).
