Hey there,
I've owned a few British cars over the years. Just found a 1958 Berkeley ES328, yes I know it's tiny but I can't help wanting to put a V8 in it. I have a complete shop that I do vintage motorcycle restorations and custom race bikes, I have a racing background cars and bikes and have run at Bonneville. With that said I'll start a project thread, looking forward to being here.

Welcome John!  Very cool find.  Looking forward to watching your progress!

Welcome here!
They are a very small car.  With your background bike restorations and race bikes, would an inline 4 motorcycle engine be a better fit?

I'd never heard of a Berkley ES238 till your post.  Then this '57 one popped up on barn finds today https://barnfinds.com/car-plus-trailer-1957-berkeley-se328/?utm_campaign=Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Newsletter+(Weekly)

Motorcycle V4 does sound cool if someone makes something that'd give you a reverse gear.
