Sounds like a great question for our next Q&A show with Chris!

Hello Dave. I hope you don't mind it being in the video. Tbh I can't remember where I found it but it could well have been from there. It's a very tidy interior and shows off the car very well.

@@phoenixfridge1495 We would love to connect with your son-in-law in a streamed interview, if you would consider asking? We do loads of these things and it ties in nicely with our series ethos.

Hi and thanks for your comments. We (at 7Spot) don’t get involved too much with what kit makes a great kit. From our perspective, our work is not focussed on a marque, manufacturer or brand. We like to think that the stuff we do is more to do with passion, no matter what level of build competency you possess. There are kits being built all over the world and we love them all! We have builders from everywhere building pretty much everything. Just check out our playlists and you’ll see some amazing builders driven by a burning passion possessing unbelievable skill sets. Here is just one example: Lister Jaguar perfection ua-cam.com/video/UxiJdTZq-AM/v-deo.htmlsi=gM7Tj9b9FWqynrga More here … ua-cam.com/video/FiRhFbGAcrE/v-deo.htmlsi=UCl_hBBlmrLMqhqt

@@7Spot556 interesting that you mentioned Passion. For me Passion and obsession go hand in hand. I sometimes wish I hadn't set my bar so high with regards to creating a seriously good replica from the Gentry. Having been active in and around this group for many years, I have seen a few nice examples. But none have gone as far as I have. If I had set the bar lower I would have been driving my car around before now. 🤷‍♂️

@@HopeSprings33 I agree and let me say thanks for the great pics Jake! Jake’s ride is absolutely ace!

We have some interviews planned with Jake and his great Tiger ! Watch this space !!!

Yes - but Chris has built over 103 cars now so as he says - "Don't cut chassis rails unless you know what you are doing" You need to add strength back in and Chris knows what he is doing !!!

I saw a cool 😎 old school idea where the hand brake wasn’t lever actuated. See 4:10 here ua-cam.com/video/Gas0zCgyn7s/v-deo.html

Stay tuned! We are planning a Q and A session with Chris and this will be the 1st question

@@7Spot556 I see quite a few people building these cars, but nobody is talking about motion ratio, wheel ratio, scrub radius, etc. On the forum, the experienced people seems to make it a big deal, if these are not correct.

@@jtm2003dad Thanks for all that. I'm building a custom McSorley 442E chassis which is 4" wider&4" longer, and the chassis is 2" taller, using a MX5 MK3 whole rear end with LSD, from the same car the 6 speed manual and a Ford 2.5 Duratec w/throttle bodies from a ZX10R. Car is a bit heavier at the rear.

@@TheRealBlackSilenceTotally I already know but please join us to discover what Chris has in mind .

A Tiger Avon up and running for £2,000 !!! But with options to upgrade it at a later stage !!!

@@catherinewright8933 Thanks for the comments. Last week we were chatting with Gary about doing a show with him. We’re working on it!

@@hicostlocost mine is upside down too! :(

Hi SoggySanders! ... Thanks for the comment and wonderful to hear from you. ... We are planning to share some Tiger Avon owner's build experiences in a Live recorded show with Chris (to be included in Xtra segments for our series. If you would consider sitting in on a show to tell us a bit about your build, we would really love it. ... Shoot me a line (using the email on our Channel's Home page) and we'll figure it out. ... It's easy, fun, and by sharing, we will all learn a lot! Cheers! 7Spot Jim

Have you still got it ???

If you sold It, bet you miss it !!!

@@jtm2003dadHi,I sold it in 2007 (mine also was a early one) as a young family and sports cars don’t mix,but fast forward to covid and bored itchy fingers on the keyboard and I wondered if it was still around and after some looking I found it and bought it back! So its sat back in the garage I was built in 👍👍

This is a Tiger Avon build but there are more detailed vids to watch on home builds at 7Spot. including suspension set ups

Hopefully will show you can put a seven on the road for not a lot of money - Chris is aiming for £2k (appreciate he has a lot of parts and workshop etc etc) Also then why various decisions and choices have been made but with options to upgrade power at a later stage. It is also being built with IVA in mind - but again at a later stage, Hill climbs and track days first !!! Hopefully will show you don't have to throw money at a kit car from the outset ! That can come later !!!!!!!!

@@planesofpaper Hi Rex, Thanks for the kind words. It was an honour to have the opportunity to interview Ron Champion. So many of us instinctively associate the word Locost with Ron Champion but it was great to hear the story of Locost #001 in his own words.

Great idea 😀!

Thank you very much
