A bit of everything
Our editor gets up and close with the restomod replica Healey, and finds plenty under the skin of this budget-minded special to enjoy. Built from strong TVR bones and mechanicals, and featuring a smorgasbord of classic British sports car parts, this Tasmin-turned-Sebring build is worth
far more than the measly sum of its parts.
Timewarp
Adam Wilkins visits a heavily customised Mini which hides more than a few incredible secrets. Built to show-winning standard in 1982, and restored to even higher standards for 2025, this rear-wheel drive special is an absolute celebration of the custom car scene's most extreme period and not to be missed.
Tempting fate
We starting our Complete Car Builder run with Ron Champion's original Locost, and continue to celebrate its influence with this latest hoary evolution. Built from a set of US plans, and remixed with a fair amount of Italian flair, the mid-mounted Midlana we have in issue four is quite the departure for the Sevenesque field. It really is quite the thing.
The kit car supremo
Richard Heseltine takes some time to chat with the design genius Richard Oakes, a man who has designed more kit and specialist car hits than most. In this feature Oakes talks about how he got into the trade, the cars he loves, the ones he'd change and why the mainstream offers never truly appealed to him. Not to be missed.
