Look at what Barry's been up to!......
Not content with being the most gifted early Porsche Metal Meister on the planet, Barry has been doing a little coach building in his lunch breaks.....
....check out Number 1 .....
....an Austin 7 based special that looks very special indeed!
Supply Barry with an Austin 7 rolling chassis and he'll pop on one of these special kits for not a huge amount of money
.....and I think the answer is most certainly NO!..........I don't there is an end to the man's talent!
Cheers,

That is lovely. I can imagine driving something like that up Prescott hill climb someday.

Re: Look at what Barry's been up to!......
Thank you all, and thanks to Darren for posting!
Apologies for the slow reply, as you know I don't seem to find my way over here as often as I should.
As Darren says, this is No1 which is sold and gone and I'm about to start No2 which is mine plus there are a couple of other definite possibles lined up as well.
Built on either a A7 LWB box saloon or a A7 Ruby.
I think I'll do my own one pretty much as per these pics other than adding an aluminium 1/2 cover, more louvres and possibly a Brooklands style side-exhaust. Also want to see if I can re-engineer the handbrake to be external as well.
If there's any interest I'll post the build here assuming no objections from the Big Boss himself .
