First mock up, to check clearances on one of two new engines that we will be trying in the 'old' Cabrio in the coming months.

The Old Cabrio gets new wheels

FOR SALE  Pagan Princess Engine (2027cc WPS Turnkey Street Engine)

This was built with no expense spared (like the rest of the car J) to be a reliable street cruiser and still able to put a smile on my face, which it has done even in the heat and traffic of Las Vegas J.  It has now covered less than 5000 miles.  It has always been meticulously maintained with oil changes every 1500 miles,

Sorting through some old pic's, this was taken in 2008, think this may have been the first time I got the wheels up, the following year I ran my first 11 & later sold the car.......

Sunshine today, so time for a move round ..........

Not long now till this little beast is on the way to the UK

With 67 Cabrio decklids fetching such high prices we decided to have a fibreglass version produced.  First we had a genuine 67 Cabrio decklid painted by Bruce @ WRP Restorations, then from this had a mould made, this week the first 2 race weight versions were taken from that mould, they weigh 6lb.

Next we will be adding hinge panel and creating a bolt on version in either thin race weight or regular street weight, we will be offering all versions for sale to help recover the cost of this project.

If you're interested enquire for pricing and details.
