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:
