Called in to Chris' place the other day, and took a snap of a Bentley they're working on (they've made the body from aluminium)

Car behind is Dreadnought (the supercharged Rolls Special), and it won't be long before its going off for paint.

Four legged member of the team is called Rusty  Cheesy

Beautiful work. So do these count as straight re-bodies, no  re-registering required? What about the Historic class, which says they have to be as original?

Don't think it applies to the body as when these were new you had to have your own body made

Years ago Chris Ireland, ("Desperate Dan"), built a Reliant trike with a crank mounted blower. Don't recall ever seeing it finished.
