They're handsome cars, albeit with atrociously poor performance by modern standards. Really nice examples don't sell for big money whereas this poor old gal is going to swallow big money, ergo not economically restorable.

for a full resto yes...but a taxi/scimitar(or for the brave , my preferred option)tvr body swap would solve the "no documentation" and "sod all chassis left under it" issues. those looks with poke... yes please!

The only reason the (Jensen) bodywork is still there is because it's aluminium - so not a bad idea. The press car in the early 50's had a 0-60 speed of 26 seconds and struggled to maintain a cruising speed in the low 60mph range, putting a new(er) car under those pretty panels would sort that out! |
