SIR John Willment? He'd be delighted (but sadly now deceased) Not thinking of Sir John Whitmore are we....? :-)

The car now has the owner it so desperately needed and over the course of three years he pretty much went through the car and sorted it himself. It now drives perfectly and even handles! Not even a sign of overheating...!!! The appalling 70s dash the Willment mechanics lobbed inside has been replaced by a proper 427-style dash and the steering relocated to fit. It's now a useable car and it'll be a cold day in hell before that body gets removed to turn it into a Cobra!!! Not gonna happen - this car is a one-off and if we ever need to get down to discussing the grubby issue of 'money' (no, it's not for sale!!) then I'd value it way in excess of a mere 427 Cobra. I love it - and especialy the much neater and tidier rear end, handmade by a liitle ol' man in his garden shed - it's called craftsmanship
