Glad I tried it though. I'd love an SM before prices go mad, but to replace that motor with electricity would be sacrilege.
That old maserati clanger? Nah, ditch it. ;) Jokes - to clarify, when I say source "a good one" I mean body work and chassis. Mechanicals I can deal with, paint and panels is more time consuming and expensive.
Parts are a pain though. When I had my 505 I spent many an hour chasing parts on an aussie frog forum...

Mainly electrical and homebrew LPG kit issues, the hydraulics were pretty well behaved. It did develop a rather large hole in the passenger side floor though and was pretty rough around the edges. The worst thing was sourcing parts, which would either cost the earth or take forever to find.
