If you are going for something that is tax exempt you might consider going reletively modern. As you may know, I have just done a BMW Z3 conversion with Tribute.

The Z3 makes a great doner as you get a 2.8, 3.0 or 3.2 straight six. All the body panels unbolt so you can have a car stripped and ready to rebuild in less than a day. The car is mechanically sound and spares are plentiful and reasonably cheap.

Wheelbase 96.3
Track/tread (front) 55.6
Track/tread (rear) 58.8
Length 159.4
Width 68.5
