Well here is the deal - I checked this car out 4 years ago and passed. Well aprently he still has it. Since I have an extra A12 plus 5 or 6 cylinder heads one of which is ported and a 4 speed lying around I figured I could upgrade the old 1200 in the Bluebird with a A12.
Vintage racers here are just geeting used to Japanese cars so I can get away with something that looks similar. Also they wouldn't be aware the car has dums so I could mount disk breaks. The suspension geomtry is also easy to change since my friend builds single seaters he could make the Bluebird work. Also we have a couple of Tarmac rallies on the schedule , My Navie is 6 5" so he doesn't fit in the 1200 to well , Bluebird is a little taller
Now if I were looking to build a street rod: I could find a wrecked Titan pick up tube the front clip mount that V8 then we could narrow the rear truck axle and tub the rear and presto - Datto version of the Anglia drag car. Lets see 2000Lb car with 300 HP and gobs of torque , this could be fun.

PS hey peddler I do have a bunch of stuff in the garage that I should be rid of ,why I have three extra dash boards is beyond me. It may be a bit of a drive from your house to come pick this stuff up.
