I started with a series 2 V8 Vanden Plas and although I loved the interior and colour I hated the carbs and automatic FASD choke. I quickly found and fitted a flat top efi system with twin lambdas that not only drastically improved performance/fuel economy but started first time, every time. I now had a car that could out perform most others yet with comparable fuel consumption. Sometime later, I got a Vitesse and then a twin plenum Vitesse.

I think the OP’s series one car looks very nice and if only welded twice then must be something of a record. I’ve got a series 1 bodyshell here that I’ve welded, and welded, and welded - the only part not welded is the roof, the boot floor resembles a patchwork quilt.

Good luck with your extremely rare car.
