Well, shes a beauty.
Very Very Clean.
When told it had less than 1000 mile son it at first i didn't believe it but after seeing it i think it could be true.

There is a chassis ID number welded on one of the Cross Members as G R 173, any ideas what that might be? (Picture below)

Ok first the negatives.
The paint isn't great.
It looks fine up-to about 5 feet away, any closer and you can start to see the flaws.
I'm concerned about the registration and inspection.
It was brought into Texas in 2014. I am told it has been registered but it doesn't have an inspection.
It has never had a license plate permanently fixed to the body....
There are no mounting holes. Plus there is no space between the license plate light and the trunk handle.
Oh and it has no windshield wipers.

It still has the MGB lever shocks, not sure if thats a problem or not. I'm not worried about it at the moment.

The central mounted Fuel filler is a dummy, you fill the tank from inside the trunk.

One odd thing i noticed is that the engine and trans is Solid mounted. There are no rubber isolators in the engine mounts at all.
Is that common for an Arntz?

And now the Positives!
This thing is brand new.....
It looks like it was completed only a few months ago....

Well, ill let the pictures speak for themselves.
(Apologies in advance as there are a lot of pictures..)
















Anyway, let me know what you think.

Cheers
Ben
