Dutton Kit Cars and their owners
S1 Rebuild(s)
some pics of the rebuild process,
the top trailing arm bracket is broke......
the diff is sloping back a little (looking up) so that will need sorting.......
As you can see there isn't a lot of bracing in an S1 chassis, that will be sorted.

Screen fitted.....if it hadn't rained yesterday it would be all in red primer...
There is no rush.......well to be honest there is no point I lack paper work to insure and register the car at the moment.....
The lights will have to be removed again to paint it.....

What is the situation now Dave?

DVLA have said .....Age related registration on proof of finished car.....which is really not far away.
It's the proof of chassis age that's a stumbling block.
No official factory records exist. You can take an educated estimate based on similar chassis numbers being registered or try and take an average production number based on known facts....it's possible to get several dates .....I think a 1978 date is possible but so is a 1979 date.
The club needs some research doing and a table drawing up on likely dates for future reference.
Since I set out to build a 1977 car and was told by DVLA that I would get a 1977 registration in 2012 I am keen to get a date as close as I can....but even I cannot claim 1977.... 78 is just about possible but 79 is as convincing...

I was given a landrover stainless radiator grille.......a little angle grinder surgery and it fits.....won't look too bad once I make some badges for it.
