Unusual Austin for sale?

Home made - not an item of grace.

Maybe not graceful, but I think it has some charm, especially in this condition.  Apparently it has a Whatmough head of some sort?

What is the benefit of that head? Higher compression maybe or softer burn?

Does anyone have a link to the original advert? I've looked but failed to find it...

Ah, hang on....

I suppose the idea came from some of the other Coupes around at the time?  Swallow, Mulliner, Avon etc.

 I wonder if one of companies offering Seven accessories ever produced a roof like the one on the boat-tail?

From a quick look on-line, boat-tails didn't usually have bench seats.
