I was discussing with my dad last week about what the best way would be with it. The roof could be used on a good 145 or 240 to convert to be an express but either way a lot of work. I think the best bet is to restore or repair as a custom. To keep within the £10-15k budget you would have to do the bulk of the work yourself. Paying profesionals to do it would need 3-5 times the budget.
I sure do hope someone does save it. If I did not have more than enough projects and the price was not at pipe dream level I would have considered it.

It is important to realise that almost 50% of the cost is in transport to bring it to the UK. It’s not a common car especially here. I totally understand if you are of the opinion it’s not worth the asking price but when there are only 2 or 3 of them here surely it’s good that someone has the opportunity to own it without doing a 4000 mile round trip to get it themselves.
Lots of work to do yes but isn’t it great that you could be seeing a bit more variety of cars at shows in coming years...
