i dont mind the slagging things down so much.
as we all have are own opinion of what hot or not.
its more that people dont give enough thought to why something has been done the way it has.
for instance, YES YES YES id love to put an original body on my 23 car. even if it costs me well, or a fortune to restore it. but the truth is either there isnt one out there. or nobody will sell one if they have it.
the next thing is people on here dont give consideration to cars with age related numbers. the first thing in peoples heads is the original number has been SOLD. thats why it has an age related.
well all the chassis that were sold from kirby wisk had NO paperwork. because the paperwork was in the house. and the auction company were not allowed in.
so i dont have the original reg number either. I DIDNT SELL IT.
if anyone can help on that matter, please let me know.
with rear early and sports cars, people should look at the originality of what has survived. or has been painstakingly replaced.
then rip into the work poorly done, or the things like chassis that have been deliberatly faked to con people.

ps, has anyone ever tried to get an original set of 1923 cowhorns. dynamo. front and rear axle. GEARBOX with monkey puzzle. plus other bits, I HAVE, and if you have. you will seriously know how impossible it is today to build a 1923 austin 7.
