With every new photo of Harry's car we see some more details. Very Happy

For example, projector headlights and no pop-ups! I assume this allowed the battery to be relocated to the front (like the later cars)? I am guessing the petrol tank ended up in the spare wheel well?

Great work, and the rear glass (and fuel flaps) is a great improvement on the Roos car in my opinion.

@ Jon,
Yes gas tank LPG 70 litres is indeed in there with room for an extra70 litres either petrol or Lpg depending on where to go (quick lock systemto be made)
Battery is still in the back ,complete with kill switch, but is a great idea for the cabrio, Idea there it is a battle for space,, tried to put it under the rear seat.
For spare wheel I bought an inflatible one of an Audi (total of 49 cm diameter) complete with compressor, just need to have an adapter plate made from 114 to 120 mm bolt pattern Rolling Eyes and try to stuff it in the back somewere.
With rear seat folded down there is almost two metres of space!!!!!!!
Pics to follow.

Harry

Great work, Harry !
I like very much the design of the D-pillar here more Towns-minded than on the ( spectacular, nevertheless) Roos car.
The huge sunroof is a great idea too !
