Built from scratch

Way back when I was young, single and carefree I built this beast from scratch and boy did I have fun building it and then driving it.

I had recently graduated from university and had my first job working at British Steel in Rotherham UK. I was working a 3 shift rota and so with time (and money) on my hands I decided I needed a hobby.

18 months later she passed her MOT (Ministry of Transport) test first time and away I went.

It’s called an Eagle and was based on a VW chassis. With a beefed up 1600cc engine and with such a light body it really flew along and with tyres more akin to F1 it was glued to the road.

Unfortunately this is the only picture I have. I drove it around for 2 years and then sold it. It was sad to see it go but times had moved on and I was now living in London, but that’s another story ...

  SYNCHRO ERP Hall 17 Stand # 634
  
  April 9th - April 13th 2018 - NEC Birmingham, UK
  
  MACH 2018 will be moving to a new set of Halls at the NEC. In one uninterrupted single space, on one level, utilising Halls 17,18,19,20 and 6, we will be able to stage the exhibition in a way that provides a bigger range of great locations for your exhibition stand. The Hall move also means we will have additional space to be able to grow the exhibition incrementally in the years to come.
