The green one had a very nice 1275cc but I doubt it was a spec that would have justified Lynn Rogers being involved. I must confess to liking all the different Cobras, for different reasons. My issue with the Wasp is that they were trying to include a detail they didn't have room for and it just ...

Hi Paul, yes they were emmm flexible. I regretted not putting a big metal brace bar between my door jams and not bothering with the door. wasp was far better made but I do agree that the nose did not work. Maybe like me you preferred the Ac Ace and early 289 Cobra over the 427. Scary to recall that ...

ibis.jpg Interested to read about the Ibis and Wasp,I was asked to get involved with the project and helped built the original floor pan mould with Ian,[This through my being involved in the Fibreglass industry for 25 years ,Ultralite Aircraft Ltd,Bruce Stratton and Rob Trainer [based originally at ...

Interesting that they have wasp moulds still. Maybe they sold teh old ibis moulds off to Mini people in Brightwater. certainly teh Japanese cars are Ibis shaped. PS. Dont quite agree that the wasp was completly new and had nothing to do with Ibis - always thought of it as development and structural ...

The first Chevrons had fibreglass made by me and Ian - we made some to repay his kindness for use of his space in his loft! You are right that they were based on Viva suspension too. Tim Monck-Mason Patrick. I owned the Ibis 7 a few years ago. At that stage it was powered by a Datsun 1200 and box ...

Not sure about this Ross. Don't mean to be rude but the first buck and moulds were all done by me and Ian in his garage in Henderson with no help from anyone. I did an awful lot of glass and bog work, made many moulds and we laid up the basic floorpan buck and took moulds. Where abouts and at what ...

To Patrick Harlow - Mostly right Sir. The Berkeley shell did indeed fall of back of truck and that is when I came on board. We both wanted simple light small easy cars to gymkhana and do sprints in. We cut the ruined shell in half and spaced it 6 inches and started adding foam and bog everywhere to ...

I think that is IBIS Berkely number one. Certainly that is paint colour we used and I think I recall those wheels too. It was at a few shows and did a few test drives.
