Hi Dave,
they are Cobra Classic's - came as part of the deal...unfinished project. They fit but everything is very tight, I bought runners but have decided not to use them as they raise the seats too much, so these are bolted to the floor as far back as they will go.

Looking good. In the end you didn't use the other cam cover. Did you have problems with it?

Yeah too many problems to persevere with it. The BDA cover sits about 2 inches higher than the Raceline one, it fouls the thermostat housing, blocks my heater outlets through bulkhead, all resolveable but I've got too many other jobs to finish on it.
I may adapt everything to fit at some point or may sell if anyone makes a reasonable offer for it?

Blush!!!!! That was harsh words ( well some of them ) :-) NNNNOOO.

It is a very close to old english red . It is a classic leather color known from from various jags , morris , aston a.o.
The body is AM burnham green over white ( I did not want any darker as these often looks almost black in certain angles .
The carpet is dark green.
