Hello Dorien,

Thanks for your reply. The condition looks pretty poor to my untrained eye, as per the photos i enclosed.

To make mine decent, the maths does'nt seem to add up.

The big question from a cost standpoint seems to be the engine and gearbox.

Are there alternatives to using a Bristol engine and gearbox ?

Is there something from a recent BMW that would be readily available that i could use ? I say this based upon what i've read about the 403 being based upon a BMW design.

Any thoughts / pointers ?

thanks,
Hal
