I'm no epxert but I think that was Ok before the SVA was introduced.

There was no sign of the owner when I was around so didn't get a peep under the bonnet or any other details. On first sight, I thought it was an original Alpha
I know Dunsmore very well
The Designer Bill Haynes passed away in 1986 (I think) lived not far away from me in Midlands area in the UK.

Car was built on components of Sherpa van made by British \Layland. The Jaguar engined example is unique, Not many exist with that spec. One of them a green one made its way via Ebay to Oregon in USA which was sold again and I think it want to California . The original owner of the green one was a guy Powel who actually restores all types.
