Cool, never seen one of those before, what engine do you have in it? It looks a bit like a clubman, but the back is just something else.
Good luck with it, whats your plans?

firstly i need headlights and bowls
next i need a few engine steadies
next i need to sand back and re glass the bottom lip
next i need a new engine mount
then i need carpets and headlining
