This morning, Norm Miller made a positive ID of the car's Mk II VIN by cross-referencing the gearbox and differential numbers to the Rootes production records. Now that it has an identity as a Mk II, I decided to end the eBay auction while it still had no bids so that I can think about whether to keep it or not.
I am thinking about holding onto it and either restoring or turning it into a vintage race car myself once my other Mk IA restoration is done, but would still think about selling it at this point if someone wanting to take it on comes along.
Given that it is now a 'car' (albeit an extremely rough one) as opposed to a pile of pieces, I would probably be less inclined to sell it as a shell and more interested in selling with all of the extra original Mk II pieces I mention in the ad (engine/gearbox, gauges, etc.). I do not have any Mk II trim for it.
