Morning all,

An extremely rare car to find in the UK, but it's suffered badly over the years - beyond recall? Or to be more precise, beyond economic recall?

Perhaps it'd make a good donor for the following car in the USA, which is missing its original running gear: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C413074

Worth the effort?

Its restorable but you'd have to be brave and have deep pockets. For its rarity would it be worth it?

As you suggest, Rick; match the two cars together and you would have a viable rebuild.
I wonder how long before the registration number miraculously appears on the market!

I saw that too, but he seems to have several cars with almost the same description????

There's an interesting looking Consul Capri to the right of the first photograph as well.
