I have just aquired another abandoned project. GTF 452B.

It is currently on our trailer awating space inside the workshop.

The previous owner had started the restoration but after some 8 years has finaly decided that it isn't going to get finished.

Roger Coupe and I once calculated that the average re-build time for an Olympic is 10 years, I have personaly been working (all be it between commitments) on my lightweight since 1996, so 8 years to decide to throw in the towel was perhaps a little premature.

As many have found out these cars are not as straight forward to restore as one might at first imagine, they are however an interesting chalenge.
