JohnD Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 This car has appeared on the PistonHeads page, What car is this? - Page 1 - Classic Cars and Yesterday's Heroes - PistonHeads UK Other pics on that page Correctly IDed, I think, as a Bond, but it's either an unusual; model, or has been modified. The front wheel arches have been extended more than a "cheeky little bit", so different front end/whole chassis? And the back end/boot looks more like an Ashley hardtop for a Spitfire/ Altogether, quite a bitsa! But nicely done. Could it be a factory design mule? Any Bond experts about?

Nick Jones Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Not a Bond fan myself. Looks to be based on either the GT or GT4S judging by the rear quarter lights. Basically Herald 13/60 with 1300 Spit engine. Difficult to be sure from that pic but possibly the mods made improve its looks (low bar to clear imo) It’ll quite likely disintegrate when moved - their special skill is rotting to almost nothing while outwardly appearing sound. The wisdom of retaining the original Triumph steel in all rot-prone areas - the GRP being cosmetic areas only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of offset/spacers on the front methinks Nice stone building in the background has had a bit of a going over too sadly Edited October 24, 2023 by Escadrille Ecosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnD Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 Others have IDed it as a GT4S too Nick, nice one! Apparently the owner won't sell. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
