Look at the top of the drivers door ...............unless there is supposed to be some permanent trim there
View attachment 69158

I see it but probably door not fully pushed shut, the shut lines on external photos seem fine, just something about this one that seems like a genuinely nice build by a fastidious owner, looks like it could of been a barn find

Just been reading that Coys of Kensington have gone into administration.
I've heard of some awful experiences relating to them. I imagine that they will no doubt re-appear at the same premises, doing the same things with maybe even the same or very similar name...but expunged of their debts. Who knows.

Yeah could be Newton , it would be nice to know what kind of hood the builder had in mind

If I were doing it I think I would restrict myself to a tonneau cover just for overnights and surprise summer storms as it would be a dry weather car...

yeah possibly , looks like it will do the trick , they did a detachable hard top for the sebring , it was actually called the seebring hard top i believe

95% seems 'optimistic'

C
it's pretty much there and all the donkey work done, the only thing that i'm curious about if I were interested is whether its ever been registered or is it a build that never got finished due to ill health and/or deceased estate etc

It was moe of a point of reference, i would call them and see if they point you in the right direction

not sure if still around but company on the market in 2013 and bought 2015 as per write up attached, the more i'm looking at this the more my bidding finger is twitching ffs, like a lot of respected kit/replica cars they can fetch top money, have seen them for well over 20k but cant find a single one for sale on the interweb at the moment

very tempting but with my boss that would be a death wish;), every time she sees me on ebay, classic cars for sale, pistonheads etc I get a knuckle rapping and a load of ball busting, I need to get some sort of wi fi extender
