On eBay, of course:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2435300755&category=29750&rd=1
Pull it into your garage late some night when everybody's asleep, make lots of banging noises the next several days, then throw the door open
Saturday afternoon and impress the neighbors with all you've accomplished!

yeah - thats a pretty reasonable replica, apart from the inside and the rear.
My cars a little less accurate copy and a bit bigger than a real one!
Seems to be selling it really cheap too.

The seller lists it as a Burlington - I've read there was a Burlington SS in the early 1980s that was based on the Morgan, so that fits. I
don't know, though, if the SS was like the Burlington Arrow (and Locost) in that it was sold as a set of plans, or if it was a true "kit
car" with prefabbed GRP body.
How would the v5 be an issue affecting price?

if its still registered as an mgb, then its not worth much as its illegal and should be sva'd and registered as a kit; burlington or whatever
you put on the forms at the time of the sva. The fact that it has q plates on it makes it look as if it is already correctly registered to me.

Perhaps it was built pre SVA, that would explain the Q.

Says the man who's avatar is a huge V8! 
I dont mean the size as a positive thing.......scale wise it is a tad over sized. For seven style cars I recon small is better.
