Hi all
I am new to this site and a very keen car enthusiast owning many classic cars
I have recently purchased a Mk1V lightweight that is badly damaged.(Rolled during racing)
So much so I think the car will need a complete new body ?
The chassis and running gear seem all okay.
Can someone point me in the right direction for getting a new body fabricated for this car. Or possibly repairing my body and just replacing un-repairable panels (Wish-full thinking maybe)[:)]
Kind regards
Rob
Hi Rob,
in UK I think you should ask Steve Grey from AC Heritage https://www.facebook.com/acheritage/

That one doesn't look like it was ever a Lightweight to me.
No, that was a standard MK IV. See the long nose and the shock absorber for the bumper.
No that's not my car
That one looks an easy fix compared with mine
Kind regards
Rob

Wow, now I am really curious. Can you post a picture?
Is there a VIN stamped into the car somewhere or is the number just on the tags
I was looking yesterday and could not find a number actually stamped into the chassis
Regards
Rob
My car ( Superblower - so built some years after the Lightweights) has the VIN stamped on the x frame that lbs situated between the front suspension towers. Also has a second chassis plate (same as that on the drivers foot box) riveted on the right hand main chassis tube, a visible VIN behind the windscreen ( it was beguile after this became mandatory ) and many of the trim and other components have the last 4 digits written on them in felt tip pen.
Yes it should on the X frame (hard to make out) immediately in front of the engine.
Found it
Many thanks
Can I say thank you to the people who have pointed me in the right directions with this project so far
This is one car I cant wait to get finished
Rob
