Another Italia spyder.

Rob, in NSW, sent me these photos of a JWF Italia spyder his dad is restoring. It's nearly finished.
Now we can make some comparisons.

Great looking car, MGB windscreen addition makes it a much more practical car, would be a fantastic alternative to all those look-alike replicas, and it's Aussie to boot.

Thanks All for the kind words on the Italia. It has an Austin Healey 100/4 Chassis and the original motor was a Vauxhall Cresta 6 but we are building up a hot 179 motor for it. When we got the car it was as rough as guts. As far as we know 3 Italia Spyders were made, a few more Italia's coupe's were made. Please can you give me your email as I have a lot more information to share.
thanks,
Rob

g'day rob thanks for info i noticed your jwf spyder has no door handles? and no bonnet? mine has a bonnet that lifts up from the front of the body, have you altered the front end to lift up so you can get to the motor? my email is prince_reid1@hotmail.com thanks reid
