Thank you, it is a labor of love...
June is a bit optimistic as I frown on trailers and prefer driving the car. Lil 289 will probably be started however not up to 8hr drive. Probably going in the Cooper.
I am hoping for Limerock at end of summer?
Keep up the good work, I have said for years the 289 have been overlooked and you are keeping them alive.

Ross,
How much for the just slabside body and wire wheels? I think I’m falling in love again! 
Jeff,
I’m really enjoying seeing your 289 come together as well. I can’t relate to the extent of labor that goes into something like this like Ross can, but I’m a huge fan of your build. I hope I get to see it in person one day

Well, the 289 street car is in a container and somewhere in the mid-Altlantic right now. Due to hit port May 8th so we are "GO" for Carlilse display!
Test drives available if we can get enough people to push while I go "Vroom!!!"
Look forward to seeing a lot of you there......

Beautiful car and not a bad price, how hard is it to ship to the USA and register?

If you are talking about importing an "AC" or a "Superformance" from the UK as sold there, it ain't happening! They are complete, driving cars as sold there and as such are not importable into the US unless they are fully certified and meet all current FMVSS and EPA regulations. That is why all legal units sold in the US are sold as "rollers or kits" for completion by the purchaser or a third party. There are some "dealers" who are violating this rule but it seems the chickens are coming home to roost on this matter.

So you'll have to buy yours from Time Machines after all!  |

Obviously, the MkII’s can be purchased through other Superformance dealers. But it appears to me that Time Machines is one of the few dealers that has a regular presence (information, support etc…) here.
I’m really surprised how many people notice the original chassis on my FIA MkII and want to know more about. I think it makes the car a little more interesting - IMHO

Kurt trust all goes well.
Just to clarify things. Unless you take the body off,you cannot tell one from the other.The Chassis remains the same visually but has some extra brkts welded on to hold the ZF in position.There are numerous benefits , CV joints instead of the knuckle type being just one of them.
I personally agree about having the salisbury set up and that is why we started off with that,but since Superformance started marketing we have found very few BUYERS actually care.So we now have the best of both worlds. You want original? You got it! But standard it comes now with a ZF. NO visual change except if she is on a lift and no change to suspension or anything else.
So in fact nothing has changed except original is now an option. The logistics of supplying salisbury diffs to cars going to Europe proved to be expensive and the newer ZF is preferred by that market.
Your car is amazing, Well done and look forward to seeing and meeting you two someday.
I also agree re Time Machines.

Hi Ross,
Thanks for the kind words; we’re looking forward to meeting you as well.
What sold me on the MkII series is original style chassis. The Webers will draw people to the engine bay but the 3” round tube frame rails and leaf spring suspension seems to really hold their interest. 
I'm looking forward to hearing some of the feedback from Carlilse....
Regards,
