For your delectation... - Tony Griffiths - 06-10-2020
The greatest chance ever to jump on the highly-fashionable "oily-rag" bandwaggon - with a surprise that comes towards the bottom of the page.
"Have a 1932 Austin Bantam Roadster. This car is an old-school hot rod; its has a 1936 Ford 60 hp flathead V-8 with aluminum heads, a Ford 3-speed transmission and Ford rear end. It rolls - it stops - and it steers- and it runs. Yes, this thing is rough - but when’s the last time you saw one of these? And, it's so cool, cool, cool, baby. I hate to sell it, but I just picked up another project (that will also stay untouched for twenty years or so) so, before I put this thing away for a while, I want to see somebody take it over and make it run and drive on the road. I’m located in Western Massachusetts. $6000"

Allow max £1500 to get it here, with luck including duty etc . Freight to the docks in USA is not cheap in a covered trailer,but worth it. A company like CJ Rankins have looked after me well Duty and vat is paid on the landed cost, so it helps to be creative with the invoices....not that I can recommend it.....
Looks a fantastic project for fun, not to make money!
Someone go for it, please

Sevens are about the only car I have driven where the performance exceeded the roadholding! Hopefully these were better. i am astonished a V8 fits between the chassis rails.
