603 MUY ~ Steve Norton's Coupé Replica
Steve has a restoration business based in Worcestershire, mainly rebuilding 'Big' Healeys and other British sportscars. This is his first attempt at a Frogeye and a Sebring, having taken over an Archers' kit from another restorer to whom it was supplied back in the 90's.
He is currently (April 2014) completing the electrics which should see it running in a week or two and will be sending in more shots at that ‘interesting’ stage! The trimmed bucket seats have just arrived and a local trim shop are finishing the floors and boot area rim, etc.
Steve is planning to get a couple of trips under its belt before a run down to Classic Le Mans.
