A red paint day for the Hillman Imp Californian

Early days but progress!

This car is a pleasure to restore.............

Project Hillman Imp Californian by the Rootes Car Co, Scotland 1967.

This one has been with the family over two decades, then sold and bought back six months ago in mid July 2014.

The car is dated 3rd February 1967, a rare export model, it was found with Mozambique plates on it some many years back.

It was originally white, then sprayed red and right now its in an automotive twin pack grey primer and almost ready for some red paints.

Soon to be red again.

The car is licenced and even has its original engine so the numbers match, not only that but the crank still has its original bearings (they are perfect) and the pistons are the originals also!

Barry's Proteus 106 build

Barry took delivery of his Proteus 106 kit last May, he has made great progress since then.

The fact he has a suitable covered space is a bonus, he has reached the stage where the cabin roof will be constructed.

He also fabricated his own forward cross beam, it looks good to me.

The International Mirror dinghy class kit is available ex stock

We have a number of these here In Cape Town right now, this far we have produced ten (10) kits and they are the first ever cut in the fifty year history of the Mirror with a CNC machine.

To enable our customers to understand the size of the kit and what it contains we have produced a Word document with a decent description of the kit and with lots of pictures.

Please email me and I will forward the Mirror Word file and pricing right now.
