Wink I want to restore 1961 Mark IX, BF says I'm nuts

we ran across a neglected 61 mark ix that could be picked up for a couple hundred bucks, BF says I'll never find parts but this forum has lots of info to help locate what I need.

Now, if he'll just share the garage....

Good luck on your restoration ! Most mechanical stuff is available, but body panels not so much. Interior is traditional coach trimming, (no plastic mouldings), so all restorable with some effort.

Could take some time to do though !!
