McEvoy body, anyone?
Posted: Mon Oct 24, 2011 1:04 am
Having studied the superb images of Geoff Body's new body for Toby Sears' tourer and looking at the 'before' images of this car, I got to thinking about my McEvoy, whose body is in about the same shape that Toby's tourer was before restoration.
If I can find an economical way of shipping it to the UK, I am considering having someone like Geoff, Garry Waiting or Dave Cooksey work their magic on the McEvoy. With shipping each way, it might be an expensive exercise, but I have to balance that against the cost, time and effort it would take me to do it here in Seattle, and most certainly to a poorer standard.
This raises the possibility of having one or two more Jensen/McEvoy bodies made at the same time by Geoff - if there is any demand. There might be, as the McEvoy makes a superb Minor and can be built on, and is correct for a relatively cheap 1932 or 1933 SV chassis. I'd also send over the cycle wings, valences, screen, etc. for restoration and copying.
Or would anyone be interested in recreating a McEvoy M Type?
Any interest?
