This is my Austin Cooper restoration, will be taking the Works theme, I just love them. It's a 997, 62 model, but I don't have the original engine, so should be building a 1275 block with an SA crank. The cars was built in June 62 and delivered to Clifton's Service Station in Sidcup Rd, Lee, London SE12, is it still there? In 1970 was brought over to Malta and I bought it about 15 years ago, hopefully will finish it this summer.
