Well spotted, Dave!

No doubt a labour of love that will never be covered by its resale value, but whatever. Well done that man!
Ah! It's not mine but belongs to my wife, Anne, who bought it in 1971. You are right about the resale value - but it's both what we wanted, and you can't take it with you. Let's hope that it survives another 87 years!

The car was first registered in the Wirral, Cheshire and stayed with one family until 1962. It then changed hands several times during the 1960s with, as far as we know, Anne, my wife, being the 7th owner. It was completely original, and used daily for some years - but eventually stored (a terrible thing to do to a car) and was in pretty poor shape when eventually taken out of hibernation for the rebuild.
