I wonder who it was?
Good luck!!! |

| The seller wasn't David Cowan - he'd apparently got it to sell. I'd have thought it was repairable by somebody who knew what he was doing - and we have a few of those in the club! You could certainly put a new heritage shell on it. |

I know someone who is good with fibreglass 
But surely they wouldn't travel the length of the country to get it would they. |

The photos on ebay were carefully taken. There is a lot more damage to the car than just the roof being cut off.
Mike has got a lot of work to do to fix this one. |

| I wondered what the damage was like. Very misleading of the seller not to show the damage, I bet he was in two minds about bringing that home, if he'd only travelled 20 miles away I imagine he'd have left it.......... |

it's not bad for value of parts it has rear beam and coilovers, 5 four spoke revolutions, the engine apears to be ok (1275 GT lump) will try to get it running before it comes out and best of all found the wind screen intact in the back when i started clearing the rubbish out. as for the body it not that bad a, b, c pillars and a split above pass rear window thats all fairly easy to sort. A panel and door i'll put back in place and glass it all back up. finally i'll cut whats left of the front off and mould a new front from allans race car mould then start putting it all back together

Downright misleading rather than careful. |
