That is superb. Great colour choice.

I'd have to fit full height seats though... Other than that, perfect spec.

The seats are nice and low, full height seats make you sit high in the car. I want to get head restraints in between the roll hoops eventually.

The last Jeremy Phillips desinged car unless I am mistaken?

I liked the Fury, and wasnt sure about the J15, althougu yours does look well put together,,,,,

[jeff666]

Nice,

Puma engine is a good shout, I used one for track days for a while and was very impressed with it.

[Lordbenny]

The interior is a nice place to be and so well put together...


The rear clam normally hinges from the rear of the car but mine has been adapted to hinge from behind the seats giving fantastic accessibility.
