What's good is that I already sucker'd myself into a kit car/shop ornament so I won't buy this one.

Oh wait, that probably doesn't help you, eh?

You know, that is a pretty decent Jamaican body.  Too many have been buggered about with but that one looks pretty much original (I believe the twin scoop bonnet was a variant available in later production but would have to check that out). The glass is an asset - don't know what a 60s Corvette windshield and a 911 rear  window plus some Karmann Ghia side windows cost to source today but surely not a trivial amount.

Someone should grab it.  You can modify the undersides between the MGA, TR3/4 and Austin Healey chassis to suit your needs once you choose a chassis. Happy to share the material I accumulated on build plans and such - may even be able to nail down which chassis that body was intended for, which would save a lot of money and fiddling.

Sorry to be an enabler, but so few of those bodies saw appropriate use and far too many were bungled/butchered to suit misguided goals that very few are left in 'unbuggered' state.
