Hmm.
I had one a couple of years ago, then more recently a '23, (I think), with a "track T" nose cone. The first one was bought second hand on a whim at the drag races & eventually given away in favour of the Pop. The 2nd was going to be a joint project with Mr Loon. He bought it off me -though I've just remembered, hasn't paid me for it yet. Mr Kapri had the nose cone.
There are several companies still knocking the bodies out. Millers Speed Shop has a mold for the '23, (the more common "T Bucket" shape, without the rear turtle deck). He's on FaceBook -Ifan Miller. Ex forum member Madron is also on FaceBook -Ron Shentall & has molds for all sorts of stuff. Body prices average around 300 quid. As Mr Kapri pointed out when I had mine, it'd be fairly simple to get through BIVA.
No more projects for me, but I'd love to see someone do one -new home for that old Rover V8?  Wink

No, you paid for a bunch of powder coated parts, then a few weeks later we had a conversation about it & I said absolutely no rush for the T money. Still no rush, but I'll have a small pile of modified bike parts to be welded in a couple of weeks. I still haven't seen the new workshop yet -call it quits with that? I'll bring flapjacks Smiley

Pretty sure Kris Brown did one at some point, weather he sold his moulds when he sold Pop Browns, I don't know.

I can do that. I know I gave you two lots of money though, one was your rent back and 40 quid, the other was a hundred in cash. But I can't be arsed to worry about it now.

I've got a feeling Ifan Miller's mold is Kris Brown's old one.

Very nice. Lancashire -that is a long trip from your neck of the woods.
Mr Kapri has a long-term '27 T project in the go so may be able to give you a few pointers.
