Excellent job! Reminds me of the 4 liter Bentleys. I love it.

That doesn't look like any speedster I've seen. I don't care for most of them and I want to build one.
I really like that one ! With or without the fenders. It looks to be channelled.

Nice job, just wondering how/what you made the boat tail out of.

I think it's superb!
I'd like to see more details of front and rear axles to see how you got it to sit lower?
I see that the radius arms have been split, so I guess there's been modifications to the axles/suspension?

I note that it is UK based yet "wrong hand drive". Where was it made?

Great looking car! Somebody mentioned similarity to '39 Bentley, and I see that, but I also see a little bit of three wheel Morgan in it too (might just be me).
