This blog is about my Davrian Mk7 with Mini engine. I bought it in England 1989. At the time it was totally dismantled and it was just a pile of car parts I took back to Sweden. I then started to assemble it, I had to manufacture a lot of parts but after a year I had it running. I participated in a few historical races, but in the end of 1995 I put it into my workshop again. My aim was to make it even better and I dissasembled the car. Then nothing happened with the car for several years.

New stub axles
I manage to find 2 stubaxles to Hillman imp on Ebay - I looked at the site just for fun and by good fortune I found a pair of stup axles with new king pins - my original had worn out steering arms....
I manage to outbid others and last week I got them - they were absolutely perfect and will solve a lot of problems for me.... Thank you wery much "limjamrace" for a good purchase....
Steering column
The steering column was made of a 32 inch long metal tube - I never felt good about it. So I took a bit of a steering column from a Jaguar XJ and integrated is to the Davrian column - Now it is collapsible by almost 4 inch and there is a stop for the column to protrude into the car. After the conversion it is heavier, but only by 380 grams.
