Title: With a heavy heart - Early 1955 Oval Project - Huge Potential
Post by: smull on June 12, 2009, 11:12:50 am
I need to stop kidding myself so with heavy heart I am offering my oval for sale. The car is a 1955 Uk supplied, right hand drive model that has had all the body welded up and painted by Bob Knight. The body is currently loosely attached to the pan and looks like this:

So that's it in a very big nutshell. I've just scared myself and realised what I have invested in the car including purchase, transportation and parts I've bought. Obviously there are bits I've probably missed that are required but to be honest it ain't far off complete and with the time, hard work and money that I'm lacking you will have one of the best ovals in the country and the more I think about it the more gutted I am :(

I'm looking for £3750 o.n.o.
