	well some of you might remeber this from the 'Whats on ebay thread' originally purchased to banger race but far to good for that, so shes going to be put back on the road, she needs a bit of welding and paint, but is in quite good nick, recon engine and box before it was parked up years ago, shes a 2.3 manual with twin carbs, plans at the minute are to get her MOT'd then lower her and see what happens, Will get some better pictures up when I'm next there, have stripped the interior to reveal the floor, and there is one little hole in the drivers floor, other then that all original and solid

	Hi Twigzy, Had a VX2300 on an S reg. It was a nice drive. Yours is a great project and well worth saving. Ill sort some lights out for you m8. Shaun.

	I know pics can be deceiving (see my 1972 Sunbeam Imp Sport thread) but that does look remarkably solid. Was it laid up due to mechanical issues? Couldn't be body rot.

	it was parked up in the 90s so the bloke could sort the engine out and give it a tidy up, he orted the engine out by having it reconditioned and then purchased a speedboat and lost interest in her,
