    It's a corse I replica, one of the last Napiersports to leave these shores.
    The asking prices on the continent do appear to have gone somewhat crazy over the last few years....

    The first chassis built with your revised engine cradle and suspension pickups Craig.
    It was 95% of the way there I think. Went together pretty well as I recall
    Although subsequent chassis were not an improvement (shall we say), as under Lionels direction they got a bit mixed up between S and I model drawings.
    Shame really. Marked the beginning of the end for the Corse.

    ps. It's the one you saw hidden away in South Wales Steve!

    Interior makes a little more sense with the original colour scheme.....- Not really my taste but each to his own. Is there something off with the drivers side front wheelarch?

    Are you thinking it looks a bit "slopey"? More rounded than normal looking from the front?
    I did hear that it had some unconventional work to get it through IVA but wouldn't know who, or what was done.

    It looks as though the nose has been fitted incorrectly, it has been mounted too low at the front. Kevin has a similar issue with Simon's old car.
    When you lift the nose at the front it opens up the gap at the front of the wheel and gives it a more concentic appearance in the arch.
    Trying to flatten the nose in the middle helps as well.
    This might not be as easy with the Favarin bodies as it was with the D Gornall generation bodies though.
    The rear arch extension leaves a little to be desired as well....

    At least yours is more of a blank canvas and you can learn by the mistakes of those that gave gone before!
