Morris Minor convertible V8

[88v8]

Work in progress they say.
Dealers don't tend to handle modified cars very well and it's hard to see quite what still needs doing on this one.

So far, it looks pretty good. Rover V8, auto presumably BW65 or 35.
Wide steelies.
Reliant Scimitar chassis. Interesting combo, considering that the Morris was a unibody. Would be intriguing to know more.

At £6,990 I'm almost tempted, but perhaps fortunately I don't have room.
