Well, irrespective of who designed the original Eagle SS I like the headlight modifications, in fact I still like the Eagle SS full stop. I do seem to remember the Pinto powered one having a rather ugly bulge in the bonnet to fit the pinto under which did spoil the lines a bit. I do like this one though. and those wheel spacers lying on the floor, obviously for the rear end, are HUGE but look like they will do a proper job of putting the wheels where they were supposed to be near the edge of the wheel arch.

@Tom; are you doing the bodywork on this too?

Glad to see you've stopped typing for the hard of hearing Steve.

The exact story I do not know personally.
Tim Dutton said to have been involved in the design.
The Eagel has a tubular frame and the engine forward.
Rigid rear axle.

Nope, the Eagle SS is a kit in its own right, offered  with a choice of pinto (front engine, rear wheel drive) or VW (rear engine, rear wheel drive) power, I very nearly bought one 20years ago but ended up with a Mustang :-) Nova and Eagle were both available at the same time if my memory serves correctly.

I don't recall Eagle cars and Tim Dutton ever being associated but I can ask Tim as he is sure to be at stoneleigh.

Hi Adrian,

Tim Dutton has been involved in the construction of Eagle. Therefore Dutton.

The engine comes from a 2L V-engine Maserati Bi Turbo.

Hi Allen,

the frame has been adapted and implanted the 2L engine Maserati Bi Turbo fitting.

The rear bumper and the hood has been changed.
