It may not be a new shell, but she sure looks in better condition than mine does. I think in the end I will have to do this with my girl and strip her right down to the metal and then start from there. Buying this would be a good starting point.

That is definitely a new old stock shell, I might start another .......[:)]

That's about the best thing that could happen to that shell - Metallic Silver seems popular just now!

Now that's an interesting idea.

If you were to do it all over again what, if anything, would you do differently this time?

Not a lot tbh, definitely wouldn't go red as I regretted that choice, should have stuck with my original choice of Java green.

However I would still prefer a genuine Speke built FHC with a wad of history and patina , but no rust, than a car that didn't really exist 3 years ago.

To me it's the history and stories that can come with a car ,not just the car itself, that's part of the enjoyment.

I love that colour of red. Each to his own.[:p]

Makes me glad i never got rid of mine! I've finally got the space to do a "Beans Special" although i'm not too sure i'll keep the original gone off milk paint job though! Or the sprint engine for that matter. Without a V8 my soul is empty.

It was close, someone on here was interested but i took so long to get the car ready for sale he'd found another which is fair enough. I'm a rubbish salesman too, way too honest[:I]

It's nice to be back anyway, sorry for hijacking the thread[:p]

[Beans]

Great to hear you were able to keep the car [:)]
And stick to the Sprint engine, much more fun than a V8 [}:)]
