Dutton Kit Cars and their owners

IMAG0299

So, collected last weekend and the first chance I get to go over it we have snow / hail / rain and gales... lovely if your a penguin I guess...

Q835XSC purchased from the factory in 1988, completed in 1990, stored for the winter in 1991 and there it sat for 22 years, possibly one of the saddest Legerras I have ever seen apart from my black one.

It was rough, body panels off, windscreen missing and a sorry case of 4 wheel drum brakes... 

Today it got a wash, nothing special just caravan cleaner and a sponge but an improvement on fungus and moss...

Hell of a job on here lads, starting with a body off chassis check, bushes and bolts and some refurb bits fresh from the sand blasting cabinet.

I will be posting more detail on Mr G's but major updates will be copied onto here too.

@ Wayne. No worries. will anyone be home as I don't really want to get arrested for nicking my own car :) Bear in mind there is no paperwork for it.

@ Steve, I'll be round the unit about 9/10 to clear the trailer, I'll give you a bell when I arrive. Cheers mate.

Just for you Brian.

It used to look like this however the weather and various other things have taken a toll and its not this nice any more. I can't sell it as in theory it's not mine to sell.

It does have the series 2 chassis with the shocks mounted on the upper wishbone.

I did have a call from Ian but we got cut off. Looks like I'll have to bring it back home again.

Busy tomorrow but might make it over Thursday during the day if you are at home Wayne... If not, it will be the weekend.

Its a dream apart from the cost...

Wow, your garage is a dream. When I read the Dutton Torque that arrived somewhat two weeks ago at my house I wondered where you stored your Dutton armada. The picture clarifies much. I guess you'd make a good Tetris player, lol. I hope for both of us that you can get rid of the yellow body, soon :))

And a pan Glenn, unless you want to fry the bacon in a rusty hubcap :)
