as my XJS saga is nearing its end ( will be painting it this winter ), i'm looking for a worthy project to continue my semi-engineering restoration hobby....

and the winner is :D :D :D

a 1939 Austin 12 - 4 door saloon like the one pictured below

its complete, but has been stood under cover for at least the last thirty years , though a few different colours, but NO rust what so ever apart from perished chrome trim that will need re-doing etc.....

is it worth the £500 he wants ?? oh yes !!!!! 8-)
