Anthony ..are you going to put a new top on?
if so could I humbly suggest a navy one would look far better than the black (i'm basing this on porsches I have seen in blue with a blue hood) and also I would go with chrome door handles, I agree with stormy be on the tailpipes as well those merc ones look great, but think what ever you do it has to be twin exhausts, one either side.
can't wait to see the finished article!

Very nice car and lovely colour especially with these wheels, keep them !
Really really really like the rear section, very F type ish. I just find the shape of the front bonnet is a bit to high compared to the original, same for the side wing panel gap but I assume this is normal for a prototype.
Great work... Looking forward to see the finish product

I may look at lowering the front suspension by another 5-10mm. It was originally lowered 30mm all round. Bit the disproportionate weight reduction at the front has caused it to look a bit pumped up.
Anthony, you must be really proud, this looks superb. I love the detail on the wing around the side indicator. Cannot wait to see this finished. Well done you.

Thanks Brian!
I'm really happy with the car. Can't wait to drive it! My wife is less happy and my bank manager very upset!

The front lights have been fitted. Final stages of exhaust fabrication and preparing the Bertini for its MOT.
Looking like a real car now!
I was taking with someone earlier about this, and we ended up wondering how the bonnet opens? Does it tilt forwards, and are the lights fixed to the car or the bonnet?

I have about 15-20% of interest from the US at the moment. Big market with huge growth potential
I have so far been talking with two people interested in marketing the Bertini in the US. One is a kit car veteran and the other is in marketing. Please send me an email if you are serious as I wish to develop the Market in the US.

The bonnet opens like a regular bonnet. But the whole section raises. Unfortunatly the standard gas rams are not up to the job so replacements are needed. The lights are fixed to the bonnet via brackets in the bonnet under skin.
Cool, that all makes sense.
Wish I had the cash to invest, how about Canada?

Not many website or facebook hits from Canada yet. But not much of a website yet
Don't know what the market would be like in Canada, not enough cars available for conversion. Got a ball park on selling price, I'm looking at the possability of importing a few cars. One wrecker in USA says he has15 cars parting at any time and will sell the remains pretty cheap. Could serve as a custom build facility selling complete to partial builds, maybe. What's the web address? Jim
