Algy Yates's Grantura - 7B407

Sorry no pictures available

Chassis No.  7B 407. Registured 1 Dec 1961. Original engine removed in 1973 and an MGB engine (No. 18V582F-H1328) fitted plus overdrive gearbox. Lightweight chassis. The car was used and raced until 1975 when it had a crash resulting in some body damage. The car then sat until 1984 un-tuched until the former owners boy pulled it apart to prep it to race, but he lost interest and the car was covered with a tarp until 2000 when I saw it and bought it for not a lot.  I then got moved by my job and so only just started a full restoration (Although a lot of bits have walked!). The car is still in several bits but now the chassis has been completly refurbished (Lots of tubes replaced), taking over 250 man hrs, the floor is my next target area (I have to make a new one and bond it to the chassis); the suspension has been cleaned ready for refurbishment (Good job I'm an ex Lotus engineer!!!!)
