I suppose I am the one I need to please, but there is a requirement to do the "right thing" with this car IMHO. It is an interesting "dilemma" to be in and having others opinions is appreciated. We talked about getting it going and seeing how it was to drive on the way home yesterday, depends on a lot of things being sorted first though. Not least if I can even get in it!
At the moment we are not even sure that a normal Ulster floor / tunnel etc is the right thing for a TT body. I have a feeling probably not. Whatever we do what is there now stays with the car either in one piece or as a spare body hanging on the wall / in the rafters.
The TT body we assumed was from the Birkett car due to the enlarged boot hole and a couple of other factors. We do know the tail at least is original from "works" and is narrower than a "normal" one. It's made from incredibly thin aluminium.
However someone else also claims that they have the Birkett car. Also not 100% sure on what chassis that even is. A can of worms best not opened in public.
