It will make for an interesting restoration. You wouldn't need to go overboard. The chassis may be a problem; they seem rather flimsy and this one may be pretty rusty.
I shall be watching this one!
There is a good one for sale at an optimistic £35k.  |

I have been wondering if the body is bolted or welded to the chassis.? I think it would need to be removed to do the restoration justice. Were they all metal or timber framed?
I just don't know but it would be great fun just tearing into it. |

The seller ended the auction early.
It did have bids just over £800 on it at the time.
