Hi guys,
Does anyone know of a standard shell that someone is looking to shift on? I'm looking to transplant another engine into one to save on costs and was hoping I could find one with a failed engine, or if the owner was willing to strip the car to sell all the mechanical parts and then the shell to make more money?

not aware of any in the UK, but it might be worth contacting a vendor like PJ Grady in the US,
or Ed Uding in Holland (DMC Europe) to see if they know of any cars or have contacts who could
point you in the right direction.
Another source could be US/European Ebay sites and the various websites with classic cars for sale.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated! If anyone is going to the Silverstone classic show soon feel free to drop me a line to arrange a burger and a pint.
It would be great to see some of these beauties up close and personal.
