Hi Haasad
Before you dive in and buy a chassis you need to do some research on costs of building a special. The chassis is at the end of the day a relatively small part of the overall cost.
I wouldn’t bank on any rolling chassis being in perfect condition and will need a fair bit of restoration then budget for a complete engine rebuild before thinking about bodywork. I have built two specials in the last ten years and neither cost less than £6000. In fact the Brookfields is pushing £8k.
The advantage of an A7 over a big seven is the availability of parts as there were a lot more of them made and still on the road.
Whatever you choose good luck
Cheers
Howard
