Pity about the steering wheel

 

It suits it.

 

I love the steering wheel….Looks like a Les Lestern…Classic 50s racing wheel..

 

Better than the standard black bakelite jobby.
That car won't be standard looking at the louvres in the bonnet.

 

Love the colour combo…

 

No it doesn't. The original is dainty and classy.

 

Leston and yep I think I can see the signature on the right hand spoke.

 

Fark my spelling is as bad as Arsvin’s….

 

It was a period accessory…

 

its period done as a Coombes type Mark 2 , including 2 inch carbies , but still period brakes and gearbox ....

 

Here one of the Thomson cars

What price do you think it will achieve Rob?….I’ve always liked the 3.8 MK 2…

 

Most mods are.....that doesn't make them tasteful or better

 

This as well:

Need to know more ,resto, motor when done by whom .If any modern mods , the ones done are very much period .

Old story what it owes you ,is a different figure to its sale value .

If its as good as the photos in the body and = in the mechanics 85k?

The cream interior is not correct its a non Jaguar period colour , but one could live with that IMO.

 

All in the eyes of the beholder I guess…AC cobras , Ace Bristols and 60s Ferrari’s had them as well…Classic wheel IMO..

 

No not a Thomson car from a Sydney collection .
