This was my first self built car ... a Formula Ford
It grew out of my first race car, a Lola 340.
New frame and suspension and the body is a sectioned Lola 340 piece.
I was able to win a race in this car.
This photo was taken at Shannonville in 1981.


The first frame - 1981

Then for 1982 we made a new body for the car ...

... and then it was written off at Mosport in 1982.

We built these two interesting cars for Jack Boxstrom in 1990/91.

Lotus 19 ... 2.5 litre Coventry Climax ... with the infamous Lotus queerbox.

19frame
A typical Lotus space frame from late 50's to early 60's ... in this case the Lotus 19.
This was essentially a new chassis as the old one was beyond repair.
We were able to salvage some bits ... to keep it's spirit alive.

Decobra      for Len Dewolf

This car was our own design under the skin
with a Cobra body made up of fibreglass main shell with aluminum doors, bonnet and boot.
Note the fully triangulated backbone chassis ...
which gives immense rigidity for secure handling and a solid well built feel.

Completed 1993 for Len DeWolf who was an remarkable man to work with.
He put 36,000 miles on this car in the first year of ownership.

Thank you Len

This is an original spec aluminum skinned Cobra ... ... it was completed 1996.

Good fit

As you can probably see, this frame had a high degree of tubular silliness to fabricate.

A labour of love is what making an aluminum body represents.

A car we named Henry ... passionately longed for by a generous man.
He has given it a very good home.

Here are some pictures of Henry taken in 2006 ... 10 years later.

Building cars was not always easy ... sometimes gentle persuasion had to be applied.
