Met up with a mate of mine who has the red Pitcrew roadster after work today. I'd fitted some P700 headlights on mine while he had given the red Pitcrew a decent clean. End result was a drive out and some photos so for those that like Pitcrews a few updated photos.

Nope. Got them front and rear but neither me or my mate are keen on them. Best without.

Thanks. Both the cars are getting new mohair soft tops soon. Black mohair hood for the red car and a burgundy mohair hood for the black car. My mate has also just agreed to get some custom interior work done for his car.

video now added to first post too

You'd have a long way to come and get it! My mate with the red roadster has some plans for the interior. Whilst I built mine from scratch here in the UK, his was imported from Japan before it fell into a state of disrepair tha I helped sort last year. Both are getting new mohair goods while the red one is going to get the cobra classics retrimmed that are in it.

Great photos. They look fabulous!
Do you use the early mini front turn signals on yours?
I see they have a chrome surround which I like.
My Pitcrew came with turns that have no chrome and I am keen to upgrade.

I've been busy today working on the red one sorting the discolouration on the alloy roll bar. Bit of hard graft and it's come up looking good, which pleased my mate.

Some old house near where I live, now just some commercial dwellings.

Yeah those are mini parts from a mini specialist near me in South London.

That's some serious deep dish on the SSR wheels. What is the width, offset? Looks perfect.

They are 15x8 0et versions of the SSR MK3 Randy. There is quite abit of dish, a lot more then the similar sized Rota RKR on my mates red pitcrew so a lot of that is down to the design of the wheel.
