Hi Guys, Time i showed my face!
I bought the NCF Blitz 2 that was on ebay last December. I had been looking for a road legal one for quite some time - the last decent one i saw for sale was a few years ago! So i decided this one was going to be mine. Had a good chat to the vendor before bidding & he offered free delivery (trailered) from Northampton to Norwich (240 mile round trip) which helped me lots!
Anyways, I’ve been furloughed this lockdown, so plenty of time to work/play with the Blitz. It had been MOT’d just before i bought it which was rather scary with what i found on it! Can only presume that the MOT testers guide dog was doing the tests on that day! So I decided to go through and replace all safety items such as suspension, brakes, etc. General tidy up - bit of paint & sort out any bits not working. New radiator, water pump, hoses & thermostat to make sure the cooling is up to scratch. Fitted some Givi e21 panniers that were laying un-used in the garage atm, to add a bit of storage.
And so she’s now on the road, & I’m just sorting a few little niggles out.
It’s just a bit of fun for me & something i can play around with. I’ve always been a petrolhead ever since getting my first car(s) at the age of 15. Have owned a few odd cars over the years - including a GP beach buggy, dune buggy, GTM coupe, GTM libra, Mini Marcos, Status minipower, Lotus elite & lots of motorbikes. Current garage besides the Blitz includes Honda Africa twin, Porsche cayman, Mazda bongo (campervan) & Renault scenic (workhorse!).
Will try to post a couple of pics.....& you can throw the necessary abuse at it/me. Lol ;D

) - I have to say its looking very clean and well sorted, from your comments regarding the MOT (Testers Guide dog - made me laugh) it sounded like it was a bit rough - so you must of been very busy and done a cracking job of it!
