Subject: Re: 1953 Brooklands 2.6 /3.0 litre dhc
Weeeeell, it looks very nice and I'd like to see it achieve a good price.
However... non-original engine; non-original gearbox; non-original steering wheel; lots of non-original stuff going on under the bonnet (servo, air filters etc.); lots of non-standard trim business on the outside (hubs, embellisher, paint, upholstery, hood etc. etc.).
For my money, why not keep things as David Brown intended? In any event, my guess is that this degree of non-originality may impact adversely on the hammer price (that could have been achieved otherwise had things been restored in a different way).
