Gone up abit now!

I know classics can sit around a while but he's got 'plenty' across that one.

Never restored is a bit of a fib, didn't Tim help put it back together?!

Bit of JB Weld?

I think someone has pinched the 5th gear.....Looks like a four speed to me. Could be the most expensive Jack Knight four speed in history

I did look at it Al......for a second...... and then thought WTF

Makes mine look like an easy project

That 5 speed is a ludicrous price!

£5,000 for a 5 speed bow with no prospect of any spares availability ever!

Why would anyone buy that gearbox at that price when a new minispares one is about 2 grand ? . There's also someone on eBay trying to sell a old right hand tank for £450 ... why ,, when you can buy a new minispares one for just over £300 with a bit of discount ... ken

163 head
Does it look to have had valve seats fitted?

Looks to have more meat between the valves than usual?

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332182315095

Another 163...

that's a bargain, shame the inlet manifolds are missing - it would be a major undertaking to get a pair made as they are a work of art.

Crikey I thought my car was a bit of a shed, but although it looks OK this really is quite a mash up. Sellers address is a wheeze too - Del Boy? :

See he's also been plagued by the buy it now price pests...

I reckon that's a mid-1960s car which has been log-booked to get the original 1960 registration off it.
Anyone ever heard of converting a 1960 car to hydrolastic before .
I bet all the glass and Lucas parts date it a few years later.
