Hey great find mate..... but unfortunately its not a barn door .
Nevertherless worth restoring
its NOT a BARNDOOR as per above
Its looks like 60 or 61 has rear blinkers
It looks like it has been made into a caravan. The back wheel is closer to the front, and the front wheel opening is covered over. Not a barn door sorry to say.
Ok thanks guys, yeah i thought the back arch was far too close to the front of the car, it definately looks like its been modified but thats the dun of restorations i guess!
how hard is it to source new panels and front beams for splittys? Im used to baywindows and thinking about doing a resto on this,
Cheers for the help

All panels available
SOME are better than others choose carefully
These can be purchased from Das Resto as well but this site has images of what is available.

I'd leave it as a caravan, it's too cool not to!
What kind of $$ do you think this is worth? Im thinkin of giving them an offer

It'll cost an absolute fortune to convert this back into a road going vehicle. Best option is to 'restore' it into an awesome camper trailer.
It's pretty rough and needs heaps of work. Start at $500 and see how you go.
Worst case ,you could cut it up and sell as repair panels for other enthusiasts and probably turn a profit.
