Nice one!  They do look good don't they!

 

Any plans for it?  I know of a bagged turbo'd small block out there.

No plans other than to bowl around in it with the family (and it will be off to FoS weekend after next!). Looked at some shocking ones but this has all the metal work done, lovely chrome and wood, the paint is good but needs a machine polish.  Belts in the back for the kids. Sorted!

That would be great thanks. pm on its way. 
It was looking at w111 280 3.5 coupes that I couldn’t afford that got me looking at 108s. V8 would have been nice but straight 6 will do.

Excellent! This looks fantastic Richard, what a cool motor to be rumbling around in. Look forward to hearing more about it and see what you plan.
