I have bunch of friends in the UK and Germany with TRs of all types. You would probably want a LHD model which would cut out a bunch of them though. I do wish I had gotten up to see the car before this happened. Ohhh, how about a 1958 Riley 4 door saloon?

Here is the Riley. Bit heavier than a TR. It's local to us as well.

Do you have access to machine tools? I have a shop down at Eastern/Carlaw if you need something, when it comes to building the new one.

That's what being a part owner is for, using them on your own projects. Your stuff may be better than mine at the moment. I had a very good LeBlond 16" lathe and TOS mill but I don't have 3 phase in my current shop so I had to go down market a bit. A 14-40 Taiwan lathe and old 50s Millrite Mill (like a mini Bridgeport). Looking for another good 16" lathe at the moment.

I do have this going spare...…….

Interesting thing, is, that it has a 5.5:1 rear axle in it, perfect for going electric with no flywheel/clutch/gearbox...…

Leaf motor reducer is roughly 9:1 so how would a motor like that fare without the reducer but going directly into a 5:1 diff?
