The panels

All the panels were still in good condition and still in their bubble wrap.

The Tiger Avon Chassis as i bought it.

This is the chassis as it was when i got it, i bought it from, a precision engineer who had to sell the kit due to work commitments. A lot of the panneling had been done, and the pannels were powder coated. The front wishbones had been chromed, and the steering and front suspension had been assembled.






















The pedal box had also been installed and it came with a nice build trolley too....



Here is a review of the tiger avon from Total Kit Car....

The Begining My Tiger Avon Kit Car Project

I've always wanted to build one of these, the first time I saw a lotus seven replica was with my dad in a petrol station at the end of my road. I must have been about 10 yrs old at the time, and we were going for a bike ride, stopping to pump up my bike tires. I was astonished by the look of the car, unlike anything I'd seen on the road before..... My dad waited for the owner to come out of the garage and spent a good 10 minutes talking to him about it, I could see it was car my dad really admired, and over the years he's banged on and on about always wanting one, but never managed to get round to building, so I've decided to do it instead... I wonder if i can keep it a secret until its complete??? I'll keep a blog of my progress here, to help anyone else who is thinking of building one, so check back here to see my progress...... Jamie
