Hi Gary
One fault remaining on mine before I can retake the SVA, so you could say it is finished! I might be close enough, or I intend to be at Stoneleigh, though probably it will not be painted. I've made a few mods, some I would not attempt again, but you are welcome to have a look.

I have just bought a Cabrio - maybe the last marlin one - and I live locally near Gosberton.I am putting a BMW 2.5 in mine, but I would love to come and have alook at how you are getting on. My biggest concern is mating the sierra electrics with the BMW engine management. You must have a similar issue mating up to the Rover system.

If you want to swap notes on the basic build give me a call on 01775 680450

Sorry to be late - haven't been in Forum recently. My Cabrio was the first chassis sold by Paul Moorhouse and was specifically made for the Rover V.8 option. Apart from welding the Sierra U.J. on to the Rover prop. shaft (done in Plymouth by P.M. himself) I don't recall any build difficulties. Have you any specific questions - you are welcome to come and see mine, if it is within range. I am eight miles noth of Bedford.
