There is a Special for sale near Cambridge. It has suffered through poor storage and needs a lot of work, but most of it is there. It has been unloved for at least 20 years since the builder died, but the family have decided it should go to a new home. I am told it has a V5 but this has yet to be found. Carburettor and seats are missing. Contact me by PM or Roger Burton by phone 01223881308 for further information.
If it's BGJ 191 (can't read penultimate digit very well), it's known to the DVLA (comes back as a green Austin, 1936) but no date for last issue of V5. I guess that may mean that it has a very old V5 like mine did.
I think that with a bit of work that could be made into a decent special, putting louvres in the valances and fitting a V-windscreen would help it look like a Mulliner Sports. Much more practical than a lot of the specials featured on the Forum.
I agree with Malcolm. Something very nice about the angled scuttle. A little bit like a Frazer Nash. I think louvres on the top of the bonnet and aero screens would make it look good.
