1952 Split Screen

Post by viewsonic1 »

Just seen this on ebay. Seems to be a good honest seller; let's hope it finds the right home.

Have you seen the floor - i think it might need more than a welder!!

Mind you the rest of the car looks ok

Seller has made plenty of reference to it needing extensive welding repairs.Also that it has the side valve.

Looks a great original car, with the right MM parts and early seats. Ok a lot of welding but its just the usual sills, spring hangers, cross member ends etc. If I had time and space for another project I'd be after it...

Not for you, it looks original!!

Make sure the vendor swops the id plates!
Further investigations uncovered it was an inside job!!
