The original Ford sidevalve and Austin 7 chassis being subsituted nowadays for the Triumph and Reliant examples....

Its the beginnings of an interesting few years , I feel , as more examples of 50's style cars emerge in the scene....

Chris , looking forward to seeing this one in the flesh in a more completed format than last time as it does look rather good.....
Thanks for the kind words Gary. You are so right about the IVA and money issues pushing the 50/60's re-body concept along. I am looking at more modern base vehicles, but they are limited and expensive.
