Just had a good look round tub this morning and found a number stamped on the very front flat bit inbetween were the front sub frame mounts, the no is BCW1148M3, ANY GOOD!

According to this: http://www.psv-circle.org.uk/docs/Leafl ... -Codes.doc

It was made by "Brush"

I don't think that's right.....

Oh well it was worth a try, thats the only markings on it, no plate or anything else. Ive been all over it and looked in all the boxes i got with it, not a thing so thats the only stamp on it, looking at it, it looks a bit amiterishly stamped.

Amateurish stamping would be normal on kits of this age - it was the apprentice's job.

I'd expect the stamp to have been around the engine bay area - but even then the chassis number on something like this that hasn't been used for so long probably wouldn't help you much.

Maybe Stuart (Turbocox) could shed any light as to whether your number is anything like the one on his, or the KAD car?

my other cars,

Gentlemen

I have tidyed up the topic and got rid of the unwanted comments, this is a public forum and we cannot have these sort of discussions remember any one can read this, including theives, police, insurance companies, spammers, next door neighbour, you mum! or even uncle bob on the other side of the globe, so please think before you post we have an image to up hold

Consider this as gentle warning, some things are not ment to be disscussed on the forum

Thank you




Back on topic, thats an early example of a cox you have there, flat floor, high tunnel, no rear spaceframe, and the dropped down front bulkhead all indicate an early car, the arch extensions are prob not standard, as look far roo big for tens, and also notice it has twin wipers, from memory this was on some of the early ones too.

WEST

yep and its a later as the top of the opening follows the same profile as the crease where the roof slopes to the screen, also it has later doors.,

just looked at my copy of a 1967 ccc with a cox in it, and the front looks the same including twin wipers, but obviously the arches are different, cox ones were tiny littl elips, got a rear shot?

WEST

west, it think it was said earlier that it had some mini special arches grafted onto the shell, which would explain why the arches were wider.....

oh and warning taken and understood, wont speak on that subject anymore on the forum

WEST, apologies for the earlier info on the forum im new to this game, will you be at kit car show this weekend?.

a line has to be drawn somewhere and i have drawn it no worries,

as for the weekend, there is a chance ill be there, going to see how this week goes and how i feel on saturday, that will prob be the day i go if i do. been rushing about alot recently and was looking to have a weekend off seeing next weekend is hectic with mini in the park and the testing im doing prior, but will see what happens


WEST

so we think mine is an early gtm about 1967-70 and worth rebuilding, so does any body have a copy of a build manual or know were i can get one from and a list of any parts that i might be needing to rebuild it. I have no interior, front and rear screen. Most of the running gear i have, one thing that is puzzling me is the gear linkage, any body got any pics of it?.

This might help:

Also have a look through here, as it is a mine of information.

Thanks Tim for the info.

altho another spanner in the works,

if you have a remote gearbox, i.e early mini there was another system for that as that was the style of box that was available during the cox early days , obviously if your butting in a later box thats rod not a problem, and prob be a better gearchange anyways.

By having what looks like a later roof grafted on you should be ok for the screen, quick get in on the group buy prehaps? as the early cox had a slightly different shape originally different at the top.

WEST

Thanks WEST for that, i have 2 options with engine, go with orignal one that came with it or i have a 1100 mini engine with later box on it. I have three tea chests full of bits that came with the car, i am going to sort through them probaley this weekend to see what ive got and havnt got.
