Sorry to disappoint,but NWE 552X has long gone to the great scrap yard in the sky,i have the back axel and running gear any other useable parts were kept by Brian (not sure if she ran on an "A"+ engine) sadly she was too far gone to save

ok..

Are you sure Brian didn't build it into a Coupe with new panels like he did EEL into a pickup?...

:P No "HONESTLY" the pick-up is no longer,even though young Bri is a brilliant engineer, sadly this project was past his vast capabilities,as for the other comment i can't pass an oppion on that one

I think you will find NWE was blue & brown & EEL was white!

Do you really think you are the only person in the universe who can weld?

And for good measure check out the inner wings, NOT an X reg then!

Douglas, about as original as LTM 575P!

Amazing what can be done with a cement mixer & and an industrial sized tin of bodge!

Oh no, deffo not an Ital, but is a mk3 going by the washer jets in the bonnet and none in the scuttle

Whats up with LTM575P?..

You want to try changing a real panel

this was the fun bit... :? reworking as Mumford's did..

Now it's funny you should say that Gary, guess what I'm doing tommorow

Are you a mind reader or what?

What with the X-Ray eyes, seeing through a bonnet is no mean feat

Just because car has washer jets in the bonnet, doesn't automatically make it a Mk 3.

I guess your doing Mumford rear wings next week?..
