Brooklands at the Factory
Jochen (Numog) and I spent an enjoyable day at the factory yesterday whilst he had his Roadster in for its annual service. Of course we had to have an explore of the factory looking for Brooklands Roadsters! There are a number in build at the moment, all in various stages of construction and with a large percentage being LHD. Plenty of combinations of wheels, black or stainless alloy..or my favourite, black painted alloys, black or silver screen pillars, sidescreens and headlamp bezels and one at least destined for a polished alloy bonnet and radiator cowl. Those two polished items looked stunning.
some cars had spare wheels, some had a very neat louvred cover with built in high level brake light.
All the cars had the standard Morgan (Mountney) steering wheel fitted....still waiting for the Brooklands wheel to have the horn push finalised I believe.
The modified gearbox covers, which don't look great in the alloy, but are fine when covered, seem to offer more room for the clutch foot on the RHDs in particular and modified scuttle panels as well to give more room for the LHDs. I'm keen to see the footrests but none were fitted although there seem to be a couple of mounting points on the cover for them.
I did keep a lookout for the Brooklands Threewheeler but saw none. One is certainly in existence as I was told that a German guy came over to polish one...and the time it took explains the extra cost of having that option!

I have my cars treated to this finish Jay by an accredited Detailer - G-techniq and it's my intention to have the Roadster treated too, especially the bonnet. It's nano technology and whilst not cheap, it should last 3-year/30,000 miles with an annual top-up and certainly I've been delighted with the results so far.  Cheers Brian

Hmmmm!I'm not sure, but would need to see one in the metal before coming to a conclusion. It does look Fabulous in the flesh  . The Bonnet and Cowl appears to be Powdered or Blasted rather than raw aly'. The Deep Green Paint Job is lovely. I still prefer our R100 though  .
