badhuis Posted December 6, 2019 Report Share Posted December 6, 2019 If so how did this end up being such an ugly beast? 😅 Quote The car is built on a 1964 Triumph Spitfire chassis and components. In the USA of course. https://chicago.craigslist.org/wcl/cto/d/west-chicago-triumph-cars-for-sale/7026027881.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll hide back in my corner again... whose round is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
