This definitely feels like the look I am going for next :)

Just a matter of evolution ...

It looks great, but I don't think Nicky would appreciate it quite so much. :lol:

Lloyds is an FIA. The car in the vid is a slabside at heart, with stepped arches to accomodate the wider track, a lot like the Cov Motors 289, hence the opportunity for me to evolve mine.

I'm assuming the wheels would be 7.5 front, 8.5 rear. Anybody any thoughts?

It would be very similar to Colin's wouldn't it, but with the single race screen?
It's probably worth having a chat with Nige Dave with regard to modifying the rear arches.

The single screens look great and I'd be tempted to fit one on mine for when I'm driving solo. 8)

Isn't it what Gerry classes as his Sebring option?
I'm sure Nicky would love it :shock:

Agreed. Its the arches that scare me and I'm very impressed with the work that he has done.

Not sure where you would even look for companies skilled in the art of remodelling glass arches.

She's keen on the look. Not sure about the aero screen though. May have to compromise on that initially !
