Re: It's Back

Yes, it's a £20K car but even then what to do with it? VSCC - not eligible, 750MC - back of the pack. Perhaps a bit of hill climbing?
Particularly drawn to the plastic cable ties on a £60K car!

Re: It's Back

It's no surprise to me. Previous cars restored by the same person have had equally ridiculous price tags. I agree if it was made from expensive parts it might be worth somewhere near.

Re: It's Back

I didn't see the cable ties (with the ends not even trimmed) at first as my eye was drawn to the lovely pop rivets.
From what I can see the only bit worth having might be the exhaust manifold. Why on earth you would want two identical Austin (10(?)) speedo's?

"London rims" :( on the front. Just what I always wanted!

Sorry I had a crap evening working on the bathroom otherwise I may have been a bit more positive about it.

I see the motor has "billeted" con rods, perhaps the chap who built it was in the army?
