Someone just sent me this link, again from Ebay so no affiliation. Seems like a rare find.

Some rust issues unfortunately

 

[Lichen]

How much do you think it would cost to have a professional fix the rust problems?

 

[Wander]

I would be easier to fit a better door I would think-probably cheaper too.

That is in Asheville NC at a place called Old English Cars. Nice folks.

 

[Christian P.]

There seem to be rust everywhere...it is a big job to restore it.

 

[TJK]

South of Asheville in Mills River. I agree -- good folks.

Is someone buying it?

 

[TJK]

Honestly, I might pull the trigger today at half the price. Would need to convert to LHD.

Perhaps salvage the pop-top and apply it to another 110 or replace (almost) everything between the chassis and the top ? It certainly is an interesting set-up.

That thing is sweet!

i have the high bid right now.
I will not go any higher, based on sight unseen, and the rust.

Looks like it would be a really cool rig though

 

[achampagne]

I like it, to much rust for me though.

Frame looks solid, should be completely restorable. Mainly needs a bulkhead and 5 doors. The 2.25 4 cyl. gas engine however would definitely not be my engine of choice.
