Do you guys recall this getting rescued from a back garden. Only seems like yesterday to me, but here it is now fully restored.

Anyone have a link to how it was when found......there have been quite a few of these garden/barn finds

Impressive standard of restoration!

Not sure I like the nudge bars and weird front centre light though...

I appreciate the work it takes to restore these cars but are the prices realistic. Does anybody actually get £250k for 63 car unless it has some big history.

asthetically pleasing or not, I like that they decided to restore the centre light and keep it. It is part of the car's history and story. The new owner can then decide if he/she wants to keep that part of the history or move it on. Should be easy enough to remedy should they want to change that aspect.

They'll probably remove it just after the first time the car overheats!

But obviously they did not keep the towing option:

The tow bar landed on eBay
