The following is a brief history of Peter Warren's rebuild: "I bought the car about 18 months ago and on the surface the bodywork appeared to have been extensively overhauled. I had intended to tidy the car up and fit a new engine and gearbox. However when I came to strip the shell prior to blasting I discovered it had been repaired with a 2 inch twist in the shell from nearside to offside. The distance had been compensated for by tons of filler on the bulkhead panel and an 'adjusted' windscreen surround. I scrapped the shell and found another 1/4 elliptic shell for sale in the Dartford area, totally rotten but unmolested. Having repaired the shell which had deteriorated in all the usual places, and purchased a new rear body from Classic Cars of Kent, together with an Ashley bonnet, I fitted an engine created by Bill Richards with a Marina block, for fast road use. The roll cage is a Fabricage MIDB1 with additional seat belt mounts - £320 +. I hope to use the car on the road and possibly in races or hill climbs". The completed car in all its glory is shown below:

Angelo van de rijt's early Lenham GT in Holland ~ YEL 418 |
|
|
|
|
This car was being built up as a Lenham GT competition car from a 1959 Frogeye Sprite, but was never finished. Angelo says the car is as it left Lenhams years ago, stored since 1976 and he now plans to paint and complete it. |

Chris Pass's GT restored in Scotland |

Chris Pass found this Lenham GT in a barn in Scotland some 14 years ago. It had been re-imported from Texas and was LHD. A Triumph TR windscreen had been fitted and originally it had a Frogeye bonnet with the headlight cowls removed. Chris fitted the W & P bonnet and restored the car to race in the SMRC Classic Series. It now has a 1380cc engine.

| These pictures were sent to me by David Birchall, and are of his friend's car (originally reg'd 505 CYF) in Vancouver, Canada - it has a rather unusual windscreen fitted! He says that another similar one turned up in New York. Anyone know of others? |
