Tony,
I did see this a few weeks ago but the last car I had with go faster stripes like this was back in 1965 on my 1961 Mini, can't say I'm a fan of black wheels either, but it would make a nice track day car or a cheap runabout.
Not sure about what will need looking at in the future as far as bodywork is concerned, knowing how much work Richard Fridd has had to do, and what he still has to do, would have me having a very close look indeed at what might be required, and the possible time scale, yes I think I would like it but being practical I don't need and can't afford it
