Thanks RBH!
I thought that it was obvious to everyone that it was a 'modified' car.
Sorry about not stating that. The Volvo transmission is not original
either. I think he said that he replaced a stromberg with twin SUs also.
The current owner did not do the work. I think that I did state that it was
done by a local Brit car guy. He is not an originality freak and he has
become a metal bender. The story goes that he built this car for his son.
I was impressed with this:

Don't believe what you see. This site is very out of date.
