@Viper. i was only teasing:) It's allways funny when Uk cars drive buy on the highway Brussels-Oostende. It's like sitting next to one another. Lots don't seem to bother with the speed limit. isn't belgium passing on speeding tickets?
It mustn't be easy driving such a low left hand car in the UK through traffic. I used to have a right hand drive cobra and had it converted quickly to a left hand drive.

Yeah, I must admit to mis-judging the width of the car sometimes when passing other traffic. Occasionally I'l look down the passenger side and realise I was closer than I realised.

As you know these cars are a fair bit wider up back and sitting behind the wheel looking down the narrowing bonnet gives a false reading and I forget how wide the arches kick out.

I have a few LHD cars but this one always gets me for that reason.

Hi BelgianGT

Is that the Hennessey SC TT Clive Sutton was selling?

Indeed. He's still selling it and telling me it's a Hennessey .... I keep on telling him it's a earlier Heffner kit. The car's been hit on the left front side but no idea how bad it was. I was wondering if somebody knows this car.

The 1000 hp car Clive Sutton has is quite definitely a very early Hennesey kit without the supercharger - we installed it for the customer back in 2008.
Hennesey didn't supply it with fitting instructions so we had a number of phone calls with them to check things as we went through the install.

Lee - no it has lived in London all of it's life. It went back to Clive Sutton today - it does look particularly mean in black, no stripe with black wheels. It's very low mileage it would be nice to see it used a bit more.
