Latest offering on eBay (sunspecs needed):

At that price I hope the seller is including a case of Solvol Autosol in the deal!

Naughty, Colin! Presumably this is what "Mr Williams" had in mind. What a shame that so many Rubies died not coming within a million miles of it!

Is spending 12 years polishing every bit so that you can't drive it without spoiling the finish really a good idea? 

Oily rag for me. This is obscene bling in my book.

No bulkhead between driver and engine - would that pass a single vehicle builders test ?

The car looks stunning, and would I'm sure cost almost as much to build today.
The detail and finish is impressive - why the negativity?

It’s really nice but 34 grand? You can get a Chummy AND an Ulster rep for that.
