Geoff D, The car is in Australia, but it's not going anywhere in the foreseeable future and it is likely I will be consulted by the owner before it is sold, so I will be sure to let you know when the time comes.
However, as we were chatting about it at the weekend the inevitable questions came up, how much is it worth as is? , how much would it cost to restore? and how much is the power train worth on it's own? So I though I would ask the questions here.
I know it's terrible to think of (what appears to be ) sound cars like this robbed of their power train, but the economic realities are such that it has been happening.
Geoff K, I will endeavour to find out about the hubs and brakes. I assumed the wires were original, they certainly look it, but coming from the V8 camp I don't know much about the 403's.
Unfortunately I don't believe the engine has been run in recent years, although I understand it does turn over.
Edit/PS. I should point out that this car is not "for sale", but I will make equiries as to whether the owner would consider selling it. I am quite sure he would only sell it to someone who would restore it.
