Bought mine new in 2009.
Still drives like nothing I have ever tried.
Drove an Ariel 300 yesterday. The orange one.
Still likes mine better.

Already built one, but voted thinking about building as that is where I am with the prospective second. Just got to kinda, sortof, talk the wife round to it being a good idea as the front garden is going to be the ONLY place I have that will be big enough for me to build it and gather enough of the right info is going to be interesting. As well as some solutions to construction and build.

Bought mine as a non runner and got it on the road. Drove it for a couple of months and took it off the road for the lst 18 months to replace the engine.

Almost complete now, just the alternator to replacde and its ready for MOT. Might even drive it without the alternator so that i can get to the next SG7 meet.





Kindest Regards,
Richard.

I bought mine fully built from Scotland a couple of months ago, I drove it down to Oxford and started stripping pretty much straight away. It needed lots of work and its now just a chassis on stands and hundreds of parts all over the garage! Hopefully it'll be back on the road next year, but we'll see what happens!

ATB, Chris
