Please bear with me while I catch up on this blog. This saga begins in late October 2010, but I only started the diary just after Christmas 2010.
Once I had the sign off to undertake the build, the first step was to work out what I would build. A quick scan of Ozclubbies.com.au, and a several nights of browsing sites kept bringing me back to the Birkin site. The Birkin is often compared with the Caterham, and whilst it's at the upper end price wise of Clubman kits, I am a big believer in the premise that you usually get what you pay for.
So after several emails back and forward to Brenton at Meridian Motorsports in Melbourne, and an intro to Bryn, the NSW Distributor, the order is placed and the deposit is sent. I will be the proud owner of a Birkin S3 IRS chassis!
The Birkin gives me a multitude of engine options, a relatively large knowledge bank based on the cars already sold and being built, and it is largely all new parts and bespoke components custom made by Birkin rather than a mish mash of donor parts from various outdated cars.
