why does no one do a coupe body (chopped or otherwise)? thought it would be a logical step

Revenge was an incredibly influential C-cab built between '75 - '76 roughly .... had a major impact on me and turned the show car scene upside down....
I can't find a picture but the car spawned a few look a likey's when the bodies became available .... heres one ..

Steve Rains still has the tall T coupe moulds and could be persuaded to do a body, sorry, no idea of price.
Brian's right as far as I know, Gary Belcher still owns the V12 T, there was a thread about a year ago on the Hamb where his nephew contributed. I think he does high end restorations now but I could be wrong about that bit!
On that subject, who else has got the copy of Street Rodder from 75/76 with Gary's T in the Early Iron section, in its earlier incarnation with a Jag straight six, short screen and a spider's web grille insert?
so joyfull did you buy the moulds from nick butler or make a mould yourself from one of his bodies,i only know of 4 bodies every produced from his moulds.

They are the original moulds although they need an aweful lot of work. Would probaly be best to pull a body from them and then straighten the body and then pull a fresh mould.

OK... Revenge, Novel T and Biffo's yellow version makes three. Who had the fourth? And where is it now?

There was a bare shell in gel coat languishing in a back garden in the Welsh valleys about 5-6 years ago along with a chassis for the same & sold for a couple of hundred quid as I remember.:eek: Dunno where it went though.

Phil Bowen bought an unfinished project that was advertised in Street Machine about 15 years ago.It is a complete rolling chassis and body.I have a copy of the ad if anyone can post it.Plus I think there are two bodies in the Kent area,one owned by a guy named Andy.

Starting this thread was worth it just to see a pic’ of Revenge. That car is still my all time favorite. If Revenge ever does (Or is on the road) I’d LOVE just to take just one ride. it’s sad we can’t build Rods like that any more thanks to SVA. But if my plans go right I’d like to build a T in the way we still can.

You'll have to go to Spain to see it as that's where it is at present, undergoing a total rebuild (to original spec). However, it will be a while before it's finished, due to various reasons not least his wife's health.

Well all best wishes to his wife. A car is just a car, we'll see it when he's able. Oh and if any of my close friends are lookin' YEAH I KNOW!!! 100E Anglia first...OK :-)....You know how it goes...weld a bit...make a coffee...think a bit............

Nope, it's entirely possible to build a Revenge clone that would go through SVA, easier than Andromeda in fact. Bearing in mind that , as it stands, there will be no SVA from April 2009 anyway..

There's A Revenge Body In my Shed Belongs To A Mate He Bought It From Nick Butler.
It's Either Number 6 Or Number 8, He's Still Got The Original Bill Of Sale. It Is Not For Sale. Will Have Blown Daimler, He's Making All The Parts From The Dropped Tube To The IRS, and Everything Else.
I Actually Bought The Fender Moulds From Mr T Who Was Selling Them On Behalf Of Nick Butler.
Ps I Do A 27T Body.

I've obviously missed something while I've been busy (Long story I'm not going over) But what's changed? No need to reply here, just tell me where to look...Oh! and is Motorcycle SVA (MSVA) effected too?
PM me via the site and I'll give you my number to call, easier to talk than type.

does anyone do a centre door t?
It should read 2009 Mark , losing track of time.... I'll amend the post . Well with your contacts Mark I thought you'd have all the up to date info re what VOSA are trying to propose ? I update with the head of SVA section every month as to current develoments and they are keen to have our support . I'm surprised that you say no one in the Kit Car industry knows anything about it as some have already been very vocal in their opposition instead of trying to find a way to make it work.
All the info will be up on the ACE site asap, meanwhile if anyone wants the info they'd be quickest to contact me direct. As I said before those that attended the AGM are up to date plus all these issues have been discussed on the old forum ( re the new EU non constitution that brings in THEIR motoring policies )with a good deal of input from some others who are heavily involved in their own side of SVA.
Wandering off topic here .
as i said kev no one in the kitcar industry knew anything about changes in 2008
I think Phil may of sold his body but i know of at least 2 bodys that have never been used yet.
So is the total number of bodies known, then? Would appear to be more than four...:cool:
