Purchased in 2017 it was only completed in May this year. Fitted with an all-new floor and boot one piece section all soda blasted then primed and baked in spray oven.

Very Rare Aluminium Speedwell Monza Bonnet NOW SOLDJonas Lindquist has decided to sell this very rare item (I believe only 6 were made). |
||
"The bonnet was damaged in a collision in the late sixties, the front part was roughly straightened, cracks repaired with aluminium strips and pop rivets and filler was applied to make the bonnet-shape look good again. The bonnet was used in this condition for several years until I bought it. I have removed the filler and my plan was to TIG-weld the cracks and then to let a skilled sheet-metal guy
do the proper straightening and repair of the bonnet.
I have now decided to use my GRP Speedwell bonnet instead and now the aluminium bonnet is up for sale.
I’m sure most of us know how very rare these aluminium bonnets are!
This item is not cheap but since it needs repair (or filler…) I will happily discuss the price
with anyone who is seriously interested. The bonnet is currently in Sigtuna, Sweden. |
