Thanks for the post; the car has been for sale for a while.
I think it's too much for a 'roller' in that condition without a Hewland transmission. But could be interesting frame for a FF/ F Libre/Sports Racer project.

That's what I thought as well.. I hope someone picks it up eventually, looks in fairly decent shape, but my impression is the hewlands don't pop up for sale that often and when they do, they're not cheap!

Keith, any idea how much a decent transmission goes for?

Last one I heard about was $4500 and they are tough to find. The engines he is selling I think are for road cars and I don't see dry sump pieces!? :-/
