Lovely to see. That first Ruby was plainly a candidate for sensitive conservation though. It looked bodily good as it was with that lovely patina?

I like to think that it would be pressed into use as a daily driver and very nice too.

Nice photos, thanks for posting. Particularly like the "export" bits visible on the Ruby -16" wheels, what looks like the remnants of an air filter and a 4 blade fan.

I don't like to generalise but 'shabby chic' is not something Indians go for in my experience - not on their motors anyhow.

I must say I thought it rather brave parking on those two carpets - perhaps there's no oil in her yet!
