Personalised plate? YD = Young Daisy? Young Dunford?

...and wheel discs, wow - you're just showing off now!

Looking forward to seeing the 'driving day' going well for you (and Dad...).

I hope you're going to give those wheel discs a right old fettling with the Solvol-Autosol, Daisy. I want them so shiny the Colour Sergeant Bourne would be proud of you!

Daisy, if you are considering modern purples for the paint for your van you might want to consider the purple used on MGBs, Marinas , and Minis etc called "BLACK TULIP". It is a non metallic colour that is rich and vibrant and should be still listed in your auto paint supplier's catalog for the mixing information.

Great work.

Ford also did a Black Tulip; I had a Triumph Vitesse which had been repainted in that colour:

I tried to get a photo of the van today at the Scottish Austin Seven Clubs, Young Drivers Event, however, it really is " High Speed"

RE: Building my first Austin Seven car - Reckless Rat - 31-08-2024

After seeing that picture you might want to paint it green and yellow and call it "The Golden Arrow", after the famous southern region locomotive/train:
