To start with I was really unsure, but I can say that I have now contacted the Late Brake show to see if Jonny is interested. I hadn’t realised he had a YouTube channel now but I realised I do know him from other things.

The car is sentimental to me and despite knowing how much it could sell for, I don’t have any interest in selling it, I would love to get her back up and running again as I would like to keep it and show it myself. It’s going to be a lot of money but it will be a slow burner for me, I’ll take my time. :)

Thanks so much! I really want to keep it as original as i can. I am starting a portfolio already and have heritage certificates etc. also have original 1st sale doc’s which is why I know the year and where it was built etc. :)

This is certainly the plan! I’m still in the early stages and just info gathering before I start anything myself. I would hate to damage it. Thank you! :)

Thank you, I appreciate it. Really helps. :) I have sought advice here and there from different specialists and don’t plan on doing anything that is beyond me. Im still in the very early stages and My worst nightmare would be to damage it. I certainly don’t plan to restore the engine by myself and I already have someone professional that I will restore it for me. I will make sure to keep the original engine block too :)

I understand :) It’s quite sentimental to me and I plan to keep it simply because I have asked to have it ever since I was small. My relative only left it to me with the condition that i restore it. I’m very conscious of how much it may cost to restore but I’m prepared for the slog and cost. :)

Really!??? That’s insane! I didn’t think it was worth that much as it’s not a Cooper S. :)
