Full framed chassis and 300 lbs or so lighter than stock set-up - even BBC engine transmission is lighter than Jag lump......

Jason King, a 70’s fashion icon.

Cool Dude man ! If only I still had my light beige 3 piece suite with wide flairs , chocolate brown silk shirt and platform shoes !! John Travolta eat your heart out .

 

[Nassau65]

Yes, browns and beige were definitely 70’s colours.

Along with velvet jackets

You should have seen my lounge then !! And don`t forget the smoked glass and chrome furniture .

Yep ! I had a dark blue crushed velvet one . A real bugger to clean when you spilt beer on it .

If you have Whatsapp I can send you the video I took in the passenger seat but here are the underneath photos. I did check the windscreen frame, around the radiator area, down the door jams and under the T-Tops but it was completely fine. I didn't get to see down the footwell and behind the plate for rust.

 

[James Vette]

It was an awesome experience and I made sure we took the T-Tops off before he drove me around.

 

[James Vette]

Oh yeah and I don't think any of the middle gauges work.

Thought that from the images. Be nice to get an idea of oil pressure though.
So has the experience made you want one more or less than before?!

More. I know it's low down and small compared to other cars but it doesn't bother me that much.

That's how cars should be

Like so many of it`s kind unfortunately . All spit and polish on the outside and precious little care and attention underneath .

Try driving a Westfield , then you will know all about low and small !!

I enquired about this one a couple of years ago when it was last for sale. The body looks good in the pics but it appears to be a text book twenty footer. It would probably make a good long term driver project car. However, anyone looking at as a short term project might be better off spending more up front on something that needs a lot less.
