Oh, man. That is way cool. And it is the long hinge type, must be very rare. I love the dashboards on those cars, they should all look like that!

Is that sweet. Looks like a great restoration project. Wonder what the reserve is?

Wasn't that on eBay about 4 or 6 months ago? Didn't sell, as I remember.

I restored NA0613...it took me 12 years...if the engine in this Ebay example need overhauling it might take $12k...however this looks to be a sound example with a lot already done...this is its second appearance on Ebay and I was surprised that it didn't sell the first time as these 6 cyl are very desireable and rare in this condition...if anyone wants to take on this project, I'll be glad to advise.
Here is my finished NA Fourseater

It's too bad the seller doesn't know the correct number of cylinders.

He listed it as an NB, but it is NA on the plate? Assume it is an NA?

All of the N types carry a NA chassis number, the factory didn't change when they started hinging the doors at the front. The revised doors and dash cars are known as NBs. The car in the U tube clip was restored by Tom Metcalf in Ohio

Great car. As I live in Vancouver B.C.,on the West Coast, I was wondering if somebody could look at it for me and either e-mail or phone me at Home -604-298-8158 Cell - 778-888-0251 and give me their opinion as to overall condition and e-mail some pictures? It does not run the rod bearings are stained, there is no wiper motor or side screens. I wish to know if the headlights are correct and any other discrepancies/missing parts and history about the car. If possible I would like to know the condition underneath. I know it is registered in the triple MMM. Are parts available, that is with time? What does everybody think it is worth?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have a great day.
Cheers,
Barry

Barry, try Lew Palmer to find out what he knows about the car. He is the MMM guru.

Bob Grunau in Ontario has the most recent experience in restoring N types (grunau.garageATsympatico.ca)
It would be worth your while to pay him to go look at the car for you.
It bid up to $26,600 before and had a buy it now price of 35,000 so you know about what he wants for it.

Cheers,
