In my opinion, it is at least as good as a Crendon, if not better. Marlon's car also has some really nice upgrades included.
You might want to consider replacing the suspended padals for a floor mounted pedal box. Mine had a original style underfloor pedal box and I'm just about to order a Kirkham pedal box for a friend with a Contemporary. The Kirkham pedal assembly is a work of art, as is their throttle pedal and linkage assembly. I think it will cost around £500 for both complete assemblies.

Mickmate makes a really beautiful stainless steel fuel tank to fit a Contemporary that looks identical to an original from the rear of the car.

I had copies of the Contemporary seat frames made when I built mine in case anyone wanted some steel seat frames rather than the usual plastic buckets available in the UK. They were never used and should still be at the trimmers in Derbyshire. If he still has them, you could get him to trim them for you and you would have a really nice pair of seats. He did a beautiful job when he did mine. They were actually better than the Kirkham seats in terms of upholstery quality and identical to originals.

Someone is Spain has posted on the Contemporary thread with a toploader gearbox for sale.
