Just to let anyone whos interested know that at least one person in the uk likes these well enough to build one. no its not a 12, or a coupe, but it is series two and short wheelbase...and it will be very nice.

details, its a 2 owner car with 70,000 miles,sat on old mans drive for 10 years, rust wise 2 new sills rearradius arm mount, front x member, rear valance (alldone) interior fully retrimmed with new seats and everything replaced bar dash veneer, wheels are 8,5j and 10j x 15's wolfrace off a 77 corvette, everything else bone stock, did the welding and interior a year ago, he's sat ever since as i was going to do it std, but in black and jps colour scheme, then decided a broadspeed /steed look would be nice.. cue the search for wheels and getting the grinder out.. a few people have been a bit sad that i have cut up a rare swb model.. but hey no one else wanted to rescue him from the old man.. keeping the rear doors is a ball ache, but as im renown for actually using my cars they are staying.. have put a couple of weeks into the kit fitting recently and will keep updated.. im enjoying this one.. and there cant be many left..

Looking forward to following this. Always had a soft spot for the series 2, my father had three of them when I was a child. I grew up watching the Steed car and always wanted one.
Please do not fit the Broadspeed boot spoiler, look much better without.

A friend of mine has a mint replica finished in maroon- had it for like 10 years I think but never gets used, with the v12 as well! Beautiful thing.

Will try and get a pic and post up. good luck with the build.

With it being buried deep in a garage at the moment - these are the best I can muster from said friend...
