Nice build, I'm always a sucker for the Porsche shroud. Will be on auction at pcarmarket.com soon

Pretty cool car. Anyone know what type of chassis that is?

I do. Tom McBurney was using a David Barrett (https://manxchassis.com/) chassis toward the end of his operation about 20 years back. It's a nice chassis. The title on this one is from 2008, so I'd guess this right in there at about 2005-2008.
The build is very, very TR - some really neat touches, spoiled with pretty sketchy execution in places. The seat shells are fantastic, the upholstery pretty bad. The dual rear grills was a TR thing, and I think pretty cool.
The floors are fiberglass and flat like an old Beck (which means the seats will sit higher then they would in an IM or a pan-car) - but they're pretty easily lowered with some sort of "paint-roller tray" for the seats.
The car is IRS, but has 4-lug wheels. As I said, very TR - but all in all, I think it's a really cool car which could be made into something special in the right hands.
