Well known Shell ... Everyone must have seen this at somepoint.

I've owned it for about 6 years or something now and it's sat stored in a barn , sadly i'm not going to get round to doing this - too many other commitments.

There it is in the background ... It's still solid and a very good base for a fantastic car . Check out Trackday Nova's thread for all the details and pictures of the condition it was in when it was stripped

I paid 600 , so i'll take 600 . Lancashire/Cumbria . Needs a trailer.

Hi is it rolling? What panels are on it?

It's not totally rolling - It has a front windsreen and a rear beam with wheels, so can be picked up at the front and maneouvered about by a couple of people.

It's got all panels, but the Bootlid, doors and Bonnet have been modified to take Perspex/Polycarb and Pins. Note, he did glance it on a tire wall before i bought it, so one side is a little rippley and rear arches need repair panels. Being 100% honest here, but it is a very very solid genuine 16,000 Mile shell (or something silly like that, i'll have to check the picture of the speedo) .

These two were taken when i picked it up.. And it's been sat since so should be in near enough condition - minus some dust and further minimal deterioration .

Last photo shows the shell when it was originally purchased. Very low mileage, Very Clean. After that it had track and minimal road use i believe.

Unfortunately i don't ... It's been sat for Five years , and will need attention to the LHS and both rear arches, although it is very solid and low mileage apart from that. Not many shells knocking about like this..
