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?

Just because car has washer jets in the bonnet, doesn't automatically make it a Mk 3.
It ain't a mk1 shell mate as they didn't have the small access panels above the rear arches..

and there is another telltail i can see.. big one..
