It's an itch I really wanted to scratch. I had the offer of the engine and 4 speed 'box from a friend who updated to 3.3 litres and 5 speed. I was offered my late father's 405 minus drivetrain for small change but the frame was shot when he sold it in the early '70s and it had been left outside after that.

I don't know what the insurance situation would be but I think it would be possible to argue it was a direct development of the original engine.
Anyone with any experience please pitch in and tell us why not.
