The building of MM's that were supllied in CKN form.
The second vid can be seen by clicking the link to the side of the first.
the second has a couple seconds of fitting the split screen windscreens which might interest those who struggle and wonder how they were done originally.

Very cool. So what you need to fit the windscreen is a woman with a big rubber mallet...

It looks like the Dutch cars were undersealed as they were built.

I love the test drive.

1)Give it some welly around the corners.

2)check under the dash for loose bits

3) check the steering on cobbles

Oh and watch out for the cyclists, its a public Road :o

Very interesting watch, shame about the lack of sound though.

I would love to discover a container-load of unused CKD kits sitting around somewhere.

Now that would be a find :)

But a 08 plate on one might look odd :wink:

Great film :D

My lowlight was built in this way, and I can tell you that the underseal they used was very good (and incredibly tough (but still flexible)after 56 years).
I could not help but notice that these car did not have any pinstriping... not on the body, or on the wheels.
