No idea sorry but it does look like an interesting car with lots of history. Be interesting to see what it makes.

Agreed the wheels are very wrong as are the mirrors. Easy enough to switch though

Not so easy to get back to the original colour though (if the photos are anything to go by).

I didn't realise Tower Porsche were still going.

Jason (jb) might know the car as those pictures were taken local to him (just over the road from Wandsworth Town stn).

I actually think they looked kinda cool when they were fully polished (in the restoration pics). California Look vibes. Detailing them badly makes it look like a poor resto rather than a hot rod.

Yep. I cycled past yesterday. No early cars in there that I could see, but the place is certainly still going.
I saw John / Jon pottering out back, but didn’t have time to stop chat.
