Hi Folks, Not a Terrapin, but might appeal to some of you.
I have the chance of a Gilbern Project - a car I have hankered after for many years, so might sell my current project if it made the money to clear the space.
It's a F1200 / clumans race car (Lotus seven style) I beleive it to be from the mid to late '60s. It's fully stripped down, but has front wishbones, long trailing linked rear axle w' panhard rod.
I planned to fit an in line A-series and it comes with a 948 engine and box, but you could always fir something else - Ford Pre xflow would be nice.
No bodywork, but I have made a star on some designs
More details are available if anyone is interested.
Photos of it as bought are available at:

I've also bought all new rose joints and set about stripping out various parts
Could be a great car for hillclimbs or sprints, or a return to the track. Not got too far tracing the history. It was in the workshops of Caterham Midlands for at least 20 years before I got hold of it.
If the gilbern gets sold I'l keep it, so if you fancy it, do get in touch quick!
