NMSA Or Not Mine, Sort of Affiliated. This was built by the man I rent office/warehouse space from. 

This will be coming on the market in the near future. 

The entire car is custom built and one of a kind, the body is aluminum. I don't have a lot of the information at the moment, but as I get more details, I'll add them here.

It will be going on BAT at some point, I'll add that here as well when it happens. I'm pretty sure it won't be cheap.

The guy selling it has tons of memorabilia that will also be sold, as well as many of his shop tools.

I'd love to know more about it, especially build pics. Metalworkers are awesome. I want it to have a Jaguar straight six.

The right set of wheels would probably pay for themselves several times over at auction time.

Thank you for being the one to say it first.  Absolutely gorgeous car, stunning feat of fabrication and design, brought down by terrible wheel selection.

They do look kind of dated, but I think this car was built in the 80s.

In reply to Toyman01 :

That may be but it was my first thought too. Maybe some xk120 style wire wheels. I don't know if you know this person well enough to suggest that but I bet it would make a huge difference in the sales price. 

Any wheel in this picture should do

The color-matched everything doesn't help, either... in that particular color.  But that's entirely subjective, of course.  The design and fabrication work are stunning.

I'm going to have to be the dissenting opinion here and say that I actually kind of like those wheels.  The contrast between classic and modern is kind of Flash Gordony.  The body-color center caps could go, but overall I'm a fan.

I'm with you on the wheels. I've never been a fan of wire wheels though .
