I love it,but for some odd reason feel a little embarrassed to admit it.

Pretty much has to be a PhotoShop build.

most folks like the 'dare to be different' to some degree....for certain you would probably never park beside one just like it at Walmart or Kroger's and for that reason alone would place it higher on my likeable list...

The surprising thing to me is that he didn't try to sell his car designs to the British,who were really into mini's,or that they didn't try to buy them.

There is no possible way for his cars to have been LESS reliable than the British cars.

In one photo it looks as if the rear wheelbase is wider than the front.  In the other photo it doesn't.  Must be camera angle.

He used components from other cars, i would guess salvaged cars. It would be hard to set up a factory using junk cars as your art shop source. And that Is if the big guys  didn't sue you!

Unlike many that think the English cars are very undependable, it is that they are mostly misunderstood...lol  Couple hours of yankee attention to details will get most very reliable like breaking the daisy chain for one....this car is very unique and one that I think I would go out of my way to fix as it is not your typical everyday car.   There is nothing as boring as having two or more of the same model car parked next to each other.  At a cruise in there were a few fiberglass deuce coupes parked.  Each one had the same transplant crate engine, same aftermarket seats, Ididit (idiot) steering column and trim, same same right down to the hokey billet third light in the rear glass...GIVE ME A BREAK...there is no DARE TO BE DIFFERENT there at all.  But I guess this is ok for the owners never did anything beyond writing a check for it as it was....most had no clue what components were used...or have a single clue as to what part they will need when time to service the vehicle.    I would like to know a bit more about the L8 engine....sounds very interesting...wish Chrysler had would have mass produced their latest L8 from the mid 90's

HOWEVER, keep the old patina and all hell breaks loose, except for the man on the street who grew up with an old truck and sees an authentic rebuild:  flathead six, standard transmission, cracked window, taped upholstery, and he will say, "WOW, I learned how to drive in a truck like THIS, COOL. 

[Plymouthy Adams]

in your case I agree, I think you should burn the suburban also....

 

just saying there are extremes in both directions....
