[Tony Griffiths]

By the summer - with luck and Covid-19 permitting - a fully-rebuilt very early Ruby should be back on the road.

I hope it’s not about to become an Ulster Rep.

The problem is - as with any very neglected bread-and-butter model (the grey-porridge end of the market) - the cost of a proper mechanical and body rebuilt exceeds by far its subsequent worth. Hence, as most people work to a budget, such restorations are seldom undertaken - and (stating the obvious) even doing all the work yourself requires a considerable investment in parts together with a huge range of skills and massive amounts of time. If only such a car had been rescued at a stage where its aged patina could have been preserved.
