All of which is illegal of course --- but a can of worms.
Would anyone want to drive a Dutton ? I remember looking at them back inthe 1970s and think my g** what a sad attempt at a Seven relpica they were,
just a collection of old parts thrown together.
Just like Locosts of today,it all depended on who cobbled it up together. Yeah sure they were an amalgam of bits from there and bits from here.
Isn't that the same as seven replicas of today?
No totally different --- a Locost is basically a workshop carbon copy of of a pre-lit Westfield, the pre-lit Westfield was decently engineered
vehicle.
The Dutton chassis was a dreadful almalgam of bits of rhs, first ones were alll Triumph Herald complete with Triumphs minimilist swing rear axle,
later with an increasing proportion of Ford bits. When they switched to the ford axle the location was a very short panhard rod mounted on the top
of the diff !!!!!!!!, this of course gave a ridiculously high roll centre.
