I suggest you copy/paste the link into the url address bar at the top of the screen. Alternatively go to the Barnfinds site and search or scroll today's instalment, either will work, Best, David Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DavidBee Posted April 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 At any rate, this was the car. Engine bay scuttle looks ok. Chassis number body and engine brass tags. So someone snapped it up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foster461 Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 It looked a bit ratty but a good base for a restoration project. Hard to put a value on it without getting a closer look at it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The carbs are H6s and you can see the aluminium tabs and original, I think, push fit fuel pipes. Looks original from the little on show. It will either pop up again, or aomeone's a happy bunny!

Just past the point of making a survivor/driver, imo, but still nice to have it pretty much intact and unmolested. Tom Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What? Restored and never used since? The pictures don't bear that out IMO. Edited April 18, 2020 by TwinCamJohn Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was repeating mechanically what I read, skipping the same question mark in my head. One photo shows a dismantled carburetter. Still, an interesting one, in my view. And It's me who just "liked" your objection, by the by. Edited April 18, 2020 by DavidBee Quote Link to post Share on other sites
