The car is completely disassembled and in boxes. It is 2nd on my list for restoration. I bought it from a man you has over 75 British cars and knew he would never get around to restoring it. I wouldn't have considered this project if I hadn't already had another one to use for comparison purposes. The body shell appears to be rust free!

If it's on its own wheels and supporting its own weight--it's restorable! It looks like a pretty straight body. Your biggest challenge will be doing inventory on all the boxes of stuff. Cars always come apart more quickly than they go back together. I reassembled a basket-case 1965 coupe, so I've been there and done that. If you run into any show-stoppers, feel free to email me.

I bought the car in boxes from a man in Charlotte that had over 75 British Leyland cars, mostly Triumph. The body shell is rust free, which was the attraction. He said I would probably be at least the 3rd guy to take over the collection of boxes with a hope of restoring it one day. It is waiting in line after my 67 2+2.

It's been a few years, so I thought I'd ask how the project is coming along. Hope it's finished and on the road now!

It has indeed been a number of years but the convergence of retirement and Covid has allowed me to finally start restoration!!! I will document the restoration on my blog www.newhillgarage.com
