Rear compartment storage space

Do you guys have this lockable compartment in your speedsters?
It takes a small suitcase or overnight bag etc.

The compartment extends into the curve of the rear cockpit and is deceptively spacious.

I'm going to improve the upholstery to make it well hidden (and also conceal the keyhole on the access panel)

It will make quite a nice little hidey hole when it's finished - to keep stuff away from prying eyes..

wow, great space!==looks good.

What body manufacturer is that?

Correct me if I'm wrong. Doesn't omeone here have the battery in the same area. I think it was a Beck. Could be my CRS acting up.

Jerome

Ya know......you could have the battery in one of those bins left or right of the center bin, and STILL have a lockable center section.


hmmmmmmmmm...........still pretty cool...

I believe the Chesil from the UK has a storage area behind the rear 'seat'. I seem to recall Simon Hambly once saying that his battery was located behind the seat.

Another reason I think it's a Chesil is because of the front mudguards (OK - fenders!) off what look like a Lotus Seven kitcar in the background.
I have never seen any adverts or manufacturers for the Seven in the USA, so I'm assuming it's the UK.

Sod it!

Forget everything I said. It was revealed to be Colonel Mustard in the drawing room with the candelabra.
Actually, it was in South Africa (see other post in technical forum) but still not who the maker is though.

Hi Guys,

This is a locally produced kit here in South Africa
The company was called KCC Kit Car Centre - They now trade under the name KCCVenom Cars.
They modified the mould to include the rear compartment.
The mould came from the States ( I think ) as they have been around for some time.

Jim, I guess the mudguards (fenders over there)threw you a bit !
You were right, they are in fact from the Lotus 7 - also built locally here. These are going to be used on a friend's pipe car to make it street legal ( I think you call it a sand rail in the US )

If you look under the "makers" section on this forum , you will see KCC listed there
To date they've built about 700 cars - I've seen a few on the roads here but they are still relatively rare.
In fact, my speedster attracts more attention than the local boxsters!

Later,
Mitch
