Hi all,
Went and picked up a new restoration project today. She's a little rusty but I think with a little TLC I can have her ready for my local upcoming show in September.
Let me know what you think....

From a 'rust-free' state, then.....?

The classic car movement needs Jeremy Clarkson like Jenson Button needs a towhitch and a Sprite Musketeer....

If a link was changed to "ebay linky" then that was probably Sam, because she's sad..

Wow! It will need some serious work! But hey, it has as least 2 of its wheel arch trims still on which is not bad, plus it seems to have Jubilee centre caps on the wheels!!

Yes the rust repairs may be a little headache, but it has a low mileage on the dash and judging by the low amount of wear on the pedals I think it may be genuine!
This baby is a keeper for sure!
