Not if it has a Marina 1.8 TC engine/box/rear axle as well as a MGB Disk brake & telescopic shock conversions (all "do'able in a garage except the drive shaft (shortened)......they look like a "period" conversion style to me.

Even if it had a gas turbine engine, parachute brakes and an ejector seat I'd still say the wheels were wrong!! :-D
