Restore 403 or sacrifice for parts?

I think it is very sad. I own one with the same registration letters and can say with confidence that it is a 1953 car sold by Anothony Crook, probably from his Hersham garage

I think you're quite right. I came across the remnants of an Anthony Crook metallic label under the rear seat squab.

I've sourced a TR6 engine and gearbox with all ancillaries at a reasonable price. Collecting it on Wednesday. Only hope it fits!
