Citroen Specials Club - the club for all lightweight cyclecars

Mine originally had Fiat 500 seats, the 1970's model not the latest offering. These were super comfortable but really high. I felt that I was sat on the car, not in it. These were replaced with MG Midget seats. Perfect.

The colour is correct on the V5C.
I wondered if there would be a problem as it is now registered as a Triumph Gentry TF but last time it was MOTed it was registered as an MG and before that it was a Triumpb Herald.

I hope this is in tge right place, and that someone with more knowledge than me can advise. I am thinking of buying another kit car. Not another Lomax but a Gentry.But this could equally apply to any kit car. For those unfamiliar with Gentrys, they are are usually aTriumph Herald based car styled li...

Hi Tony'
I've tried to reply to your PM but I think it may have got stuck in my outbox, (either that or you have loads of duplicate emails from me). Please send me your email address by PM and I will try that way.

However, the seats are still incredibly comfortable and this missing webbing means the sitting position is nice and low. When I bought the car it had seats from a 1971 Fiat 500, again...

If the DVLA really want to check they probably can. My Lomax 223 was originally registered as a 2CV in 1978. I didn't know when it was rebuilt as a 223 so I wrote to DVLA to ask them what information they had on the car. It took a couple of shots because they wanted to know why I wanted to know. Bec...

Update on the fuel pump. Fitted the new Der Franzose pump to the Lomax this morning. I made a point of not trying to start the car before fitting so it has not been struck up since the New Year, (yes I know, wussy fair weather driver). Anyway, bolted straight on, no problem. Half a dozen pumps of th...

I've been watching this thread with interest as I too have been having starting problems after a few weeks lay off. Last summer I fitted one of the non return bulb pumps which seemed to have very little effect. I would squeeze the bulb several times until I felt resistance but I still ended up turni...
