An "interesting" boat-tail two-seater....

[Tony Griffiths]

Well, it's impossible to fault the photographs accompanying the auction entry. If nothing else they demonstrate how not to obtain a decent cosmetic finish - and clearly show that the "restorer" finally managed to empty his jar full of assorted cross-head screws. One admires the tightly-fitted trim, the copious and careful use of staples and the preference for over-long, stamped-headed bolts. One could go on, and on - but the crowning glory must surely be the carefully and correctly placed Austin script badge on the radiator; a sure sign that this car has been meticulously rebuilt by an enthusiast who really knew what he was doing. Or, might just have been thrown together over a long weekend and topped off by an orange-peel paint job using a vacuum-cleaner spray can? BTW - if each picture is clicked a high-resolution image appears that can be further enlarged to show - in graphic detail - the incredible care and attention that has gone into this car.
Just discovered pictures 184 and 190- that appear to show broken and welded rear springs.
A list of what's wrong - from dangerous to mundane - might be interesting to compile.
