Gilbern invader

Yet another car with the v6 motor. This has come up on ebay and appears to be fibreglass with a steel chassis of some kind. Design wise it looks like they started with a morris 1100 and tried to meld that with alfa and volvo and not quite succeeded. Nice guard flares and wide stance. With a weight of about 900 kilos and the dport motor it should go pretty good.
This car is obviously quite rare in aus, should it be restored, or stripped of its motor and buried?

A reply from the seller, seems the overdrive box is missing too.....

hi jr, for the past two years it has been sitting in my driveway out in the open prior to that it has been under cover and outside aswell ,yes it has a glass poptop and is fitted with a straight 4 speed box cheers

The car is supposed to have the zephyr / scimitar OD box, just like the one in your pic. Seller says its a 4 speed so its most likely been changed to a regular side link.

I'd pay about $500 - $700 for an OD box, anymore than that will get you a used Toyota conversion
