Hope someone saves it - it sounds like it would be a great shame if this ended up on the track.

Spoke to Rick today, the guy with the aforementioned 3 litre. He's sorting some pics to e-mail me, but its pretty much bought. Is it wrong to have two 3 litres?

Not patting myself on the back just yet as its not in my barn, there's always the chance I could change my mind Weirdly, mrs socks seems to think its a good idea which worries me. Mind you I need another project - the 1800 Mk1 has stalled (awaiting an engine swap) and I've become distracted by a 1978 Moto Guzzi track bike...... Alexander - please dont encourage me Will post some pics when I get them! Cheers Rich

Well - actually that does look quite sound. It should come with the nice light grey interior. Doors, sill extensions, front wing corners, front valance - I've seen much worse. In fact it does look better than my show-car...

Damage on the n/s wing might be awkward - definitely some fabrication required, I'd have thought. Otherwise, the usual stuff - floor corners, inner sills, door bottoms and bulkhead corners will need looking at.
Looks pretty good overall.
Chris.

I keep looking at these pictures again and again - a dangerous condition (if you know what I mean). I think this car does look really good and should - in theory - not hide too many nasty surprises on the bodywork. Though hard to judge on the pic, but even the sill-covers look original and rather tidy. And the dent in the wing would have been a massive crusty opening on many cars...
I really hope someone can take this one on. I have seen cars go on the track where even the banger racer had to weld several sqft of panels before he felt confident to race it (after selling me some interesting things from the car), but in this case it should be kept on the road instead!
Regards, Alexander
