Thanks Jays, you lucky guys the cars look super! Saw them in build and those Cossie engines look the business.

Nice to see the adapted SP1 suspension in build too! thumbs

They look impressive...
Have to say that I do like the red chassis.

I wonder how long it will be before that new rear suspension and disc rear brakes are the norm?

I think it may be visible in wheel arches

IMO, it would clash


Looking at Jays last photo, the engine bay and the inner wings are red so I would definately stay clear of red as a body colour

Looks great

Is one of the front tyres on the wrong rotation in the last picture?

It is but I think they just put the wheels on at this stage to wheel it around from shed to shed

Come on chaps, you really don't need rear discs on a light road car........

I was told by someone involved in Morgan racing that rear disks wer not effective on a road car as they are used too lightly if properly balanced. He strongly recommended that I stayed with rear drums.
