A vintage project for someone?

An interesting project for someone?
   
   This car is on Ebay, link below, for bids above £7000:

   Apparently, some years back the chassis, with transaxle, was removed from under wrecks in a scrapyard. The new owner, working in the restoration business, started to build a body from drawings but he has now had to stop due to ill-health. You will see the engine is not AC (it's from a Nissan) and there are many other things not right e.g. wheels, dashboard, electrics, steering wheel. The body is wrong in places e.g windscreen design but, saying all this, there is the possibility of either having a usable car or restoring further to more original. It's likely it doesn't have a V5, so chassis number may be important for the DVLA.

The car also has five stud hubs.
