So not really a discovery as I have known about this LE for 15yrs or so. Long story short guy has had a "collection" of old British cars and other collectable cars in various stages of disrepair. You can see some of the outside collection in this post of mine from 2012.CLICK HERE
Due to health reasons he is no longer able to work on his many projects. Fast forward to a few weeks ago I get a call about the LE. He is ready to let it go. It was in rough shape back 15+ years ago. Made a deal and dragged it home today. This by far is the WORST trashed interior I have ever seen. This is what happens when racoons get inside. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Anyway it is at my house now. Longs are solid, trunk floors are not bad hell hole will need attention. I have the front bumper and two rims, but missing the rest for now. I am sure they will turn up as the pole barn gets cleaned out of the many many parts laying around. Tomorrows project is to by a good particle respirator, long rubber gloves and clean out the inside so I can see just how bad the floor pan is, my guess not good. My plan for now is clean out the inside, free up the brakes so it rolls better then it will get stored away in a friends old shop for the winter. Come spring I may sell the racecar and start the LONG road of brining this LE back to life.
