1951 AC 2-litre Roadster Special. Originally a standard 2-litre exported to New Zealand, ended up in Australia where it was sold to an enthusiast who rebuilt the engine and had a special body built by Mark Nugent in Dubbo (is that a real place or one of those typical Australian nicknames?) using an ash frame from a Jaguar SS100 jig. Restoration completed 2008 and car then sold by Oldtimer Australia.

(Chassis #EL1667).

Exactly!

I think any country capable of having a town named Wonga-Wonga could also have one named Dubbo..!

Well done.
