Looks like a new bay for that garage Scott
 
Car was built 10 May 1951. It looks to be complete, but needs lots of work and $$$$$$ to restore. All the gauges and are from some other car and it has an extra gauge shoe horned in to the facia panel (probably temp gauge singe the early TDs didn't come with one - I don't see a capillary tube going up to the expansion tank in the under hood pictures). The badge bar is a towel bar from the 50s - how do I know you ask - I have the same bar on our TD. I would guess that a complete, proper rebuild would probably go close to $20,000.
Cheers,

I'd need a whole new house if I bought that. And a new wife too!

If anyone is seriously interested, I'll go have a look see for you. Just PM me. I've seen this ad before, several months ago. I'm guessing the price would be negotiable.

Dave, After looking at the car, I think your being a little conservative. To get that car right, I think there's going to be closer to 30,000 in it. Triumph or Jag gauges, there's at least a thousand already. Bad sheet metal, no telling about the wood. For 2500 to 3000 bucks, be a great parts car, unless of course the numbers are all correct, then to me, that puts it in a different category and could possibly be documented. PJ
