Any interested in Glass A Roadster body?

[hotroddickie]

I am looking into changing my Roadster body for a sedan just gauging if there is any interest in the roadster before I comit to anything.

It is a Wimble body has been on the road since late 80's ready to bolt on.
I believe the Wimble mould was taken from an original and it has been mistaken for steel many times not like some of the mold of a mold off a mold bodies currently on the market.
Very thick well wooded out.
It is all hinged and latched boot has drainage channels. Comes with seat, interior in black, steel model A tank unit for the dash, nice folding roof, screen posts, Painted gloss black. and 8 gallon moon tank basically ready to bolt onto your chassis.
I need £1500 firm. Calculate how much a new glass body would need in time and parts to get ready to bolt on?
Sorry it is under cover in the garage surrounded with stuff so no pics, but it is from Kev Elliotts old Roadster and has been in the mags many times.
Any interest?

Plus another 200 hour minimum to hang the doors and trunk, make seals, fit a dash,trim through out, locks plus the coas of all materials , screen posts hood etc etc etc and then straighten it before paint. I know which I'd rather buy.

Thanks Kev there is probably a grand in hardware here plus the body before you start adding in the nasty messy job of making a glass body useable. It is also an ex feature car body with 20+ years history.

It looks like I am going for the sedan body so the roadster body could go anytime in the next 8 months not desparate to move it as there are 2 other projects in front.

Does anybody have pics or links to the mags that should show this roadster?

[hotroddickie]

If anyone can post pics on here can they please do me a favour and PM me their e-mail and I will send them the only digital pic I have.

For those that don't know what a 29 roadster body looks like.
Many Thanks
Rich

Neil, those are the pics above mate......

I know its difficult but try to look at the whole of the pictures and you can see the roadster body :)

I thought they might have been something from your "private collection" rather than from Rich.

What roadster?
