Looking at your 88" SW makes me wish i had placed a bid on ebay for it when it was listed, worset thing is at the time I had a spare 4K to spend lolzQuote:

The engine is the wrong engine - it has an earlier siamese engine fitted rather than a spreadbore. I have a spreadbore and the first job for the project will get it rebuilt.
I will most likely rebuild the car to "basic" standard without the top on but in SW grey. Then install the SW trim and other bits to complete.

Are they radial or cross-ply, and what size? 6.50 x 16?
Thanks again
