Rimmer Bros in UK seem to be pretty good.

I'd get some better photos if I were you. Bu

t assuming the assessment is correct
- I am assuming you didn't take the pics yourself on site - it could be
worthwhile at $5k or so (try and knock him down a bit). Question I have is
WHY are the wires hanging out of the dash? and why has the original wood
been removed and so on. Did he try to do something to it and screwed it up?
If so...
Expect to have to spend a lot more restoring it whatever the state of it.

They were great cars in period, and more advanced than Healeys but you ought
to try and get it back to something approaching the performance levels of
the UK spec and get as much of the regulatory clutter off it as you legally
can.

Spares availability is probably better than for an A-H too because the
marque lasted longer, look at companies such as Moss.
