Has just come up on ebay.  (Again, I don't know the seller.)

An ali body, not grp, and a body style owing much to pre-war Morgan or 326 BMW. No doubt a certain eligibility committee would be most welcoming. Then again....

Looking at it, i thought perhaps someone couldn't afford a jaguar XK120 so built there own at home from a Ruby.

It looks well done! But may be a bit marmite for many.

I wonder how it looks with a driver of normal size in it. Could be OK but sometimes specials look like kiddie cars.

To me, the headlights look too large for the front of the car.

A pity the waistline doesn't read through at the scuttle, otherwise it has a certain charm. Yes the headlights are a bit out of proportion too.

Many (? 50 ?) years ago Neville Barr (former PWA7C chairman) owned a special much like this, which he referred to as the "Dexion Special". I only saw it once at the back of Neville's garage and it was not easily viewed so I'm not positive it's the same machine; but it does look very familiar. It was a light blue at the time, as was this car in the past according to the vendor.

Regards,
Stuart
