For some reason Davies comes to mind. It was quite a well regarded marque,in the track day circle.if any suggestions to 70s/ early 80s sevens would be great.i seem to remember it was regarded as a well made chassis etc

Pleased to say the  B+ started up today after a winter of "fiddling". New wiring here and there. 2" SU carbs stripped and refurbished. Electronic ignition and new leads etc. Just some bodywork to sort and the interior to have retrimmed, hopefully by the April deadline all will be sorted. Oh, plus a 5 link to sort.

I have a long hardtop, suitable for B type and B+ type body, narrow boot. It's in the way, I'm never going to use it. Open to offers, swaps etc. Picture to follow, 7 days or it's chopped up, I need to gain a lot of space for new project. Collection only I'm afraid.

Seen one of these on a kit car today, didn't realise it was not a Smiths instrument. Bl**dy good price too: http://www.mikesxs.net/products-46.html#product-03-0669
