Been tempted by that car myself.

Although the turbo installation is pretty basic, why get rid? I’d be tempted to look at updating - see if it can be rebuilt with a modern cartridge, ditch the bypass and use modern boost control etc. Can’t see why with proper heat management and so on it can’t still work effectively, even if you stick with a carb.

From experience, the 603 series cars are a difficult sell, even for a Bristol - the looks of a 411 are certainly less unpopular.
