Cheers Guys. It is a Chesil 356 Replica made by the Chesil Motor Company in Dorset, England, a two-man cottage industry. It is sitting on a 70's VW Beetle donor chassis which is cut down and refurbed as new. Absolutely everything is replaced apart from the indestructible VW Gearbox. You choose your colours, seats, carpets engines etc.

It was one of the last cars to come out of the company in Dorset then the much larger Westfield Sports Car Company bought the firm and moved it to Oxfordshire. Essentially the bought the rights, the fibreglass moulds etc. It was a gargantuan mistake which bankrupted them. Rumour has it they would have to produce cars for 10 years until they broke even. A silly business decision.
I think some other enthusiasts have bought the ashes of the firm now, pennies on the dollar I expect.

I do love driving it though, air-cooled like the CB of course and a real head turner. Easy to maintain, no oil filter, single weight oil, screw & locknut valve clearance.

We will shall we?
