Looking at the photos, the main floorpan is half missing. I would look at having a new floopan made suitable for the TT car utilising the Ulster transmission tunnel and parts of the scuttle and bulkhead if possible. The existing body could then be used on another car. I would think a TT bodied car would be more practical for road use than the present body, nice as it may be. I am sure that if the owner of MV 1344 had had a spare TT body lying around when the car was rebodied, it would have been fitted!
I'm with you Malcolm.
It's an interesting period oddity at the moment, of no known historical (or historic) significance besides the running gear. It effectively becomes a more modern counterpart of the car that John Hinchliffe owned (if my memory is correct) if the TT body is applied. The floorpan is far from perfect or intact as it is.
