I have seen this car down at Spencer's a few times in the past, though not in the last year or more that Andrew's had it for sale, se he will know it well. As far as I know it was in regular, maybe even daily, use at the time (two or three years ago), and running very well. The paint is poor now, I hear from people who have viewed it recently, and there a few other bits and bobs to do as well.

Regarding the 411 front end, I took it to mean that it has a 411 front subframe and suspension, which would enable the Jag alloys to be fitted, and presumably allow relatively straightforward fitting of the 360 engine (from the 603 / Britannia-era?), though I am prepared to be corrected on that.
