I think it looks fantastic

It won't suit purists, and I'm not interested in buying it but I like the look of it and appreciate the work that must have gone into creating it. It has been for sale before of course, for a lot less money. Hard to value because it is unique.
American looks and English running costs - a great combination!

Brilliant little thing!

Personally I wouldn't have such wide set arches or the sides steps out so far...or the sharpness in the front panel.. BUT the work that has gone into it is fab!

Definitely a very individual item, well executed, won't suit everybody's tastes but then it will provoke discussion.
Not sure on the Jaguar 'S' type rear lights, as to whether they go with the overall design or not. But I will say that I couldn't live with the steering wheel, far too small for me. An early Moggy one might go well with the theme.............
Best wishes,
Mike.

Very well done - looks nicely built. I second the view on the rear lights. Repro Model A lights would have looked better, an I'd have to section the back arches so they don't overhang so much but that's just down to taste. The Oxford grill seems to work well - makes you look twice to see if its an Oxford or a Minor...

i think at 11 grand i'd prefer the real thing.looks tacky IMO

It's not for me but well done. The work to create it must have cost at least as much as the asking price.
