the crankcase in the spares looks to have bulges on the side. so you get the bassis of an original nippy engine. IF IF IF its in restorable condition. if it is WHY WASNT IT USED.
with it being built on a ruby chassis, its quesswork to how much nippy you are actually getting.
was it originally a nippy that when it was restored, the owner replaced a damaged chassis with what was to hand? if so you are likely to get an original front and rear axle. original flat springs. maybe even a close ratio gearbox etc.
or is it a body that was bought on its own, and built onto a donor ruby.
it will im sure make somebody a fun car. but be careful not to pay to much. for what could be a shinny bitsa.
tony, the dash does look like its there. but somebody has put a poorly cut piece of aluminium between the dash and the dials.
