Bleednipple Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Damn, my keyboard is now covered in drool. And what an absolutely lovely guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Cobbold Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 It gets driven, its sound wonderful and looks used. The real ones get hidden away in secure aircon storage, silent and dead. For me, fakery is justified. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony_C Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Yep, that’s about as proper as you can get….. might not be ‘factory original’ but, nothing fake about it imo……… Well done again Deggers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Motorsport Mickey Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Great car and the right attitude. There's just something about an alloy body that's left to show it's scars. Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Doesn’t it start out that he found an original body !! it’s a great car. And a wonderful owner attitude. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And a wonderful owner attitude. But it's still a bitsa and he doesn't care, neither should we. It removes the "when is a car too valuable to be used" fear that Pete posted a week ago. The body is probably worth £250k by itself for somebody with one that totals it and needs to replace it. Mick Richards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hamish Posted June 7, 2021 Report Share Posted June 7, 2021 Just saying that finding the body was the catalyst for this great project. I have fortunately been brought up being around people who used their cars for what they were designed for despite their rising values. admittedly probably bought at a time when they were hundreds of pounds rather than hundred of thousands to millions Quote Link to post Share on other sites
