A35s have become more expensive in recent years largely due to their exposure at Goodwood where they provide such great entertainment. I never thought them as good to drive as a Minor - largely due to the outdated steering box set-up. And they do fall over a bit too readily for my liking

Also nice bright looking 850 auto, shame its lost its original interior

That's been through their sale room about 4 times now. Still too expensive. It's a half finished works replica, so what do you do with it? Finish off the replica look or put it back to standard, either way you are going to need deep pockets to do it. And those pictures make it look better than it is.

Lots of wrong stuff.

Looks like a Mk2 rear window to go with the boot lid, cut out front panel, courtesy light holes in a-pillar, so it is a re-shell. Nasty 6 non-vent sills as well.

Don't mention the upside down door cards

rear window is definitely not correct.
Nice colour though!

"Wherever possible, genuine original parts were used"
Yeh really??
Honestly. Some sellers eh!

FE 313297 Front end number where does that date the car .

Could use it as spot the difference
got to be over 10, compared to what it should be

Middle of '62, though I wonder if its been removed and reattached.

It doesn't look pressed tight enough onto the inner wing.

And the worst thing of all ....

Upside down door cards

So a fair amount of Chinese shite on there then

Definitely having a mk1/2 & Austin/Morris identity crisis.

It's also been plater*ped - ATW359A is a re-registration. Could vaguely understand the subterfuge if it was the original number but why bother making it out to be a 62' unless there was no V5 with the shell. Comes with £100 worth of wicker baskets though...
