Dutton B-type with Seven Bodywork
Guihanos - 13/5/10 at 11:22 AM
Hi,
I'm testing the water with my kitcar project.
It's a Dutton B chassis with spitfire running gear.
the engine is 1600 crossflow with twin weber.
I have modified a brand new locost bodywork set to fit on the Dutton chassis. The car is almost finish.
in the sale their is a spare 1300 crossflow engine and a set of MGF wheels (same fitment as the Spitfire)
what is needed :
- fuel cap
- end of gearbox seal (leak)
- bleed the clutch system
- a horn (wiring done)
- some TLC all around
- a paint
- a V5 (no plate, no logbook 
, couldn't find the chassis number)
I open to offers by MP but if they are too low, I will possibily keep it. I really don't know what all this worst.
Some pics
(here is the last pic i've taken of the car)
(this pic shows the wheels as well)

I like the steel wheels in the first picture, are the pictures both of the same car ?

re iva...if its still using the dustbin chassis you do not require iva.
Example being a beach buggy with a long wheel base....however if it has been shortened it would require testing.

Here is a pic of the day i bought it. Still with the dutton bodywork and i kept the chassis as it was. I just modified the back of the car to be able
to fit the TVR fuel tank.

Not if the chassis isn't modified - you can do what you like to the body once it's legal so long as the spaceframe isn't cut.

Ah! But:
"- a V5 (no plate, no logbook , couldn't find the chassis number)"

Missed that bit. If it didn't come with a V5, plates or chassis number then it's probably been a dodgy ID donor for an IVA avoider/ringer.
If you can find the number (if it's not been cut/ground out) then you could get the V5 (and make someone else's life very unhappy).

And as parts, what the lot worth?
