It would have been more practical if a FHC back end have been used :)

Yes - but lets face it whoever did this didnt carry out the project to go camping I guess!!! Also it would have obscured the OTS lines :)

Reading an email Ive just received looks like CMC stretched the OTS as it had front end damage in a shunt and then had a spare rear end anyway. Goodness knows what it all cost but safe to say he could have had FHC for what the trailer cost I bet!

Yes apparently for a customer who wanted the looks of the S1 and the leg room of the S3.

I think it would have been cheaper to have his legs shortened ....

What would also be great is to convert the boot of the trailer into a dicky seat.

Yes I know, but think about the advantages: you can bring the kids with you, you do not having to listen to the them argueing, and you can still drive an FHC instead of a 2+2.

Don't need a trailer, this one looks as if it can drive

Does anyone know what colour the Kaizen E-Type is painted ?

When I first saw the pictures I thought it was opalescent gunmetal but it looks a bit too silver grey. But then again it looks too dark to be opalescent silver grey.

Anyone know ?

Cheers,

Neil
