I think you can still buy Thompson tubs and they are not crazy prices. Engines are available at circa £50-60k fresh. Corners probably £20-30k new. Gearbox: don't know about availability or cost. Body work (floors, nose, tail, tunnels etc) £20-30k. Other stuff (looms, lights dash, wings, wheels, brakes etc etc): £30-40k. All in all: I would suggest a cost of between £150-200k.
Don't forget the key: £100
While it would be a fabulous car, it would have no provenance. For a bit more, one could buy good original car that would have history--and you could have a go at racing it as well.
