<p>Well, it's not my cup of meat, and I can't see it going for over
$60K, if that. A really clean, original BN2 would go for at least
that, and the VIN plate for a 100M would go for twice.</p>

<p>Not a well-considered resto-mod, IMO. I'd buy a really clean BN2
that has been fitted with alloy head, extractors, bigger carbs,
etc. if done tastefully--without trying to pass for a 100M--and
have a great 'sleeper.' The brake upgrades are certainly nice,
but the white wires only look good on 100Ses (stock silver would
go better on this car). The body work--outer sills (flat bottom,
not Kilmartin) and doglegs--hasn't been fitted well (as one of the
commenters pointed out). Alternator not necessary, and instead
of the cold air box I'd fit some K&Ns or equivalent (I'm
considering doing this on my 100M, as the CAB is a PITA). You DO
want a heater, as I used mine just the other day when I got caught
on a cool day without a jacket (unfortunately, I hit a deep
pothole with the heater running and now the heater is making a
'tinkling' noise). Interior is nicely done. </p>

<p>AFAIK, DWR doesn't make 'Denis Welsh 10.5:1 flat-top pistons;'
Welsh sells pistons in specific diameters, the compression ratio
would be determined solely by bore and combustion chamber size.
And what, exactly, is a 'high-lift crankshaft?'</p>

<p>I would like to know how he crammed the Vredestein in the boot
pocket.</p>

<p>Difficult to predict, but judging by the comments section,
there is a lot of excitement about this car. From the outside
it presents well and while there has been several
modifications made to make it "more driveable", not sure as to
what has been done to the chassis/frame to start with
especially after it was a race car. Certainly does not appear
to have lots done to it since it is still painted black but
with very little photos of it, difficult to assess.

<p>But it sure looks good.</p>
