Hi all - I'm looking for a scruffy but awesome road going 50's/60's plus 4 for light competition use - hill climbs and timed rallies, rather than full race - if anyone hears of a suitable car, i'd be grateful for the tip - thanks Nick

As John ( Sprinty) says, you'lll be extremely lucky to find one full stop and, if it is any sort of shape then be prepared to get the wallet out. The prices really are strong for anything that moves ( or even doesn't) and the good cars are fetching silly money ( IMHO anyway) A good example would be the car which RTCC sold last year but there are many others in the same bracket
A related thought is there were, in fact, only 101 genuine Supersports built ( and one of those was Eric White's four seater) so, even if you don't need or want matching numbers, it pays to be a bit circumspect with some of the so-called 'Supersports' which are advertised. They may have had some of the obvious attributes added eg bonnet scoop but there really is more to it than that- not least some of the things which were done ( by Jack Brabham Motors) to the Lawrencetune engine in the genuine articles
