The car is in blue gel coat and will be painted genuine British racing Green. I have had the car 3 days and Fran Hall is trying out the cockpit fit and says he is ready to race.

That car comes at a good level of "finish", it appears. You'll have that thing on the road quickly!

Denis, the old guy standing next to car is my neighbor who helped me get the car out of the box. He was looking at the car in wonder as he is a Studebaker nut and has a few nice ones. He also restored one of the cars for the Studebaker Museum when they entered the Great race some years ago and the car ran the whole distance without a problem. We help each other with our projects, and by the way he is a year younger than me!

Hersh, the car car was built for right hand drive and will be as close to the original as I can make it. I can't wait to pull up next to a Vette or some other car as this thing is actually lower in height than my 40. The sound should be awesome with the 12 cly. Jag engine.

I bought the car from Denis Bedford (Down Under) and had it made to my wishes (right hand drive etc.). The car is now being offered by the Sports Car Factory here in the USA. Check out the web site.
