That looks slick, thanks for posting as it gives me lots of ideas for down the road. Bill S.

Skip, Did you scratch build this? Bill S.

Pictures? Color Combination? Which wheels? Which shocks? Which rear suspension? Which seats? Which gauges? Does it have a top, side curtains, tonneau cover? maintenance (ie: tires dry rotted, brake and fuel lines in need of replacement. Suspension needing a rebuild due to drying out from lack of use) There is so much more that should be taken in to account

A search of the internet turns up the following verbiage when it was for sale in Moorpark, California, last year (off a .FR based classified site no less): 2011 V8 Lotus 7 Replica with exclusive fenders! modeled after a 1972 lotus. All hand built! CLEAN TITLE Completely street legal!! This is not a car for every one. This is a very stiff drivers car.

I question the sellers use of a "protected bidder/private auction" since Ebay masks the identity of bidders these days. On another note, anyone wonder like I do who's kit this car started life as? http://www.ebay.com/itm/231173629252

If it is the same, then I do not need another picture posted. Was just looking at different options. Thanks, Bill S.

Do you have a picture of it? Bill S.

Hey Mike, I did a search and saw that thread. Was yours premade, or a one off custom item? Thanks. Bill S.

Any pictures, I'm always game to see what others are using on their cars. Bill S.

My chassis is BIY 1903, sent you a PM. . Any others? Bill S.

Does anyone make a quality bolt in sump guard for my Zetec powered Birken? I've got the stock pan currently installed, but also have a Canton pan that I plan to install some time this spring. Thanks in advance, Bill S.

Well, there is always my annual new years day ride, -6 was the coldest, 84 was my warmest. Bill S.

-1 to + 8 degrees,I'm crazy, but not that crazy, it was trailered home Bill S.

19.10 hours, 978 miles, 1.5 hour catnap and the Sunburst Birkin is now safely tucked in the corner of the garage until spring. Hopefully the rehab I endured with my back comes to fruition :auto: Bill S.

You can also contact ATC and have them build you a trailer to spec, cut out the middle man and his/her mark up at the same time. Bill S.

$48,900 for the Ariel Atom...

Do you have a Dually Diesel to pull it with? :auto:

No mention of brakes on axles, that and I do not see a break-a-way box in any of the pictures. With any trailer you get, you WILL want electric (not surge) brakes on both axles. Bill S.

Excellent, congratulations again. Bill S.

Parson's is only contracted to run the state emissions inspection stations, they do not have anything to do with the "salvage and specialty" inspection stations I mentioned in my previous post. As for the block of the Rousch motor, brand new casting, not a 60's item Bill S.

Mike, What private company is doing the salvage and specialty safety inspections? As of last month (just sent a new FFR build flying through the system with stack injection and a new Rousch motor, aftermarket ECU) it was still Asbury Park , Westfield, or Winfield (Morristown being shut down permanently by hurricane flood damage), all which are state run, with state employees and not run by private contractors. Bill S.

I disagree, getting a new "7" replica through the NJ process has gotten easier in the last two years. Just has getting through the countless cobra replicas. it is only when someone attempts to circumnavigate the process in hopes of getting a "vintage" title that things go wrong. If you call the special titles division on State street in Trenton and ask for their "kit car package", then follow the instructions, you should have no problems at all. Bill S. PS: It will require a very heavy gauge sump guard as they do not like anything hanging below the frame rails, but that is the only issues that have come up recently that I know of.

If I was not getting ready to move, it would be mine.... Bill S.

Here is my old Birkin on the 18 foot featherlite trailer. If that is all you are towing, they make a 15 foot version as well. Bill S.
