The first one you posted 'for me' was being sold because 'to big for Devon lanes' guess where I live?

I do want one before I die (so soon then) but what's with the prices of anyting American? Even stuff that to me seems as appealing as syphilis on your wedding night is £8K. Is there no such thing as a Yank with a reasonable price tag?

Now, should you talk nicely to @eddyramrod, I may* be prepared to help in the shitely of getting it down to you. May cost you a few of your excellent coffees and you'll need to talk to the ever helpful* Torbay council about parking.

I think, apart from the Lancia Aurelia, no other ordinary family car in this class had all-round independent suspension in 1950 

VW Beetle does, as cribbed from the Auto Union racers just before the war?

Yes, but who on earth wants one of those horrible things?

Is right-hand-drive, though, but column-change manual rather than the BVH 4-speed semi-automatic. 

Seems like it's popular

Just noticed it was running an 1172 engine when it was built, but it has the standard A7 back end. I really, really want to find out how people were mating an 1172 engine to an A7 rear end back in the day as it seemed really common, but apparently today 'it can't be done'... Any ideas, anyone?

There's a UJ at the end of the torque tube so frankensteining a fitting compatible with the ford gearbox doesn't strike me as impossible.

You fabricate a rear cover with oil seal for the Ford gearbox, then use a conventional drive flange and a short open prop shaft to the A7 torque tube joint.   And you lose the speedo drive in the process.  Why do you want to know?
