I know of a T70 that was brought in from the USA last year.
"Original" chassis.
Existing engine was 7ltr so that had to go. New engine obtained.
Loads of history ... but the the chassis was deemed to have been adapted from, iirc, a Canam car. So no papers could be issued. Unless a new tub was used.
I think there were some problems with the original transmission as well so that has either been rebuilt entirely or replaced. Not sure which at the moment.
I can't help thinking that it would have been better to build a new car from scratch and leave the original with the provenance that it had and it's life in the sun in CA. And with its, now sold off, 7ltr engine.
