Ooooofffff!!!! Looks like a great setup & such a '60s colour too!! The series 1 has such lovely detailing (rear lights etc) that were completely messed up on the later cars  . BTW, was there any particular reason for the series 3 front panel, or was it just what was available? |

 This makes me happy Fantastic job....I can see the thought process. I wish I had the time to comment on all the readers rides because they all have 'something' - this has it in buckets though. Superb. ...really? ;D |

;D crank triggered ignition is two separate boyer bransden motorbike systems, consisting of the hall effect sensor next to the crank ,a cdi box (remappable) and dual output coil, i made the extension for the crank to mount the iron inserts in, these are adjustable via slots for independent timing of the inner/outer cylinders (the siamesed middle ones run different to the outers as per minis) so no dizzy with all the slop to worry about..... yes it shifts  front end was replaced by previous owner  due to minor shunt but allway's a talking point....if there is time after discussing the more recent mods ;D He then took me to the workshop & made me fit a header tank (he made for my old reliant lol salvaged after being written off) pic to follow ;D |

lovely piece of work , do you know much about the history of the car ?, I know green rileys were common but it looks identical (minus the mods ) to my ex fiances parents car ,I know they had it up until about 1980 but do not know what happenned to it then. they lived near Harrow in Middlesex at the time
