Ooo that Hotchkis stuff looks nice. I think thatll work nice on the rear.

Current thinking is Detroit Speed Speed 3 setup on front and the Hitchkis rear.

Engine trans still to be decided. I've seen the stuff on Classic Industries and some eBay bit but is there anywhere else to try? Maybe get a recon rather than spending thousands on new.
I'd get an engine and trans built by a reputable builder, I went the crate engine route at first and it backfired with broken crank and subsequent substandard parts had been used on dissasembly... It wasn't a cheap crate engine either ! :thumbdown:

Hmm good to know. I may have to rely on Pete again to find something that works.

Latest video of the car arriving on the trailer. Now we wait for Pete to have some time to start.

Hi,

To update on

- vehicles in their original state, without substantial changes to the chassis, steering or breaking system, engine etc, at least 30 years old and of a model or type which is no longer in production

I got through to hmrc and they were very helpful. I was told if the car is unmodified and original factory spec then is would come under trade code 9705, which incurs 0% import duty and 5% vat. If in the event that the engine or trans is scrap then provided the replacement is of that era then the car should still be ok. Any modifications would change the classiciation which would incur the full amount.

Link to trade classification -

Glad to hear that HMRC were helpful and good news on the import, sounds like yours will be just fine for importing :) Looking forward to the next MFP vid, though it sounds like it may be a way off with the other cars that are in front :(
