Jessopia74 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 (edited) Yeah, I did (exclusive coupe too) - its a few years ago now, and I still have the log book. It was in a state of project, but the guys that was doing it closed suddenly and it was locked in a yard in Hull that I could not get access too. I was speaking to the landlord, but but in that time the place had been 'cleared'. probably 'Tat Man' Had a Rover V8 engine block fitted, rest of V8 was in the boot. Car was complete, but no interior as I had that stored elsewhere. IIRC mostly on a pallet, last time I did get to see it. Wings had been cut and reformed for front air dam, that was been reformed too. Joys of working away 😭 It broke my heart Edited September 16, 2019 by Jessopia74 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jessopia74 Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Not off the top of my head, no. But no reason to even think that is it! It probably ended up getting weighed in for a few quid of scrap money, that is what hurt the most 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exclusive Opel Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Wonder if this was from Ilfracombe in Devon at some point. I knew of a black coupé with a V8 in it but he sold it and never did see it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
