Thank you for your concern Bert. Yes, Nick sells several different styles of seats, the first ones we tried were too tight for me. These are a few inches wider were it counts.

Bert, this is a show car. It won't be driven.

Well, having had the same problem, that's what we all thought wasn't it!

It`s all looking very special Paul, these photos are an education....as the saying goes, `If you know what you want, the rest is just hard work.`

Good spot. No, you're not wrong. And just like the one you've pictured it'll be a period correct ST style roll bar.

Ian, yes, I like the idea of harnesses but I didn't want the effort of buckling up a five point harness each time (it's largely a road car) so I bought these Willans belts.

Now I didn't relish using 40 year old belts so these Willans ones make sense but don't look right in an ST.
Therefore I tracked down some repro Autoflug patches.

And then I did what all good sons do and went to see my mum.
Bless her, with a bit of stitching she transformed them.

Next installment = steering being installed.
