Introduction from a New Owner!
#6
Fear not, there is no plan to change any of the body work! In fact, my only plan is to clean the crud off with a jet wash, and the rest will be left and simply "polished" with my trusty oiled rag! The body is actually steel, with the exception of a small brass addition to the radiator cowl, as far as I can tell. The car is in Portugal, but I have no details of where the car spent its life until the 1960s. Using basic archeological principles, I believe the car has sat since the 1960s, given that that is the date of the youngest newspaper I found on top of it!

I am not sure that the mechanical side of things has been as well preserved though. The disassembly process has begun and is starting to reveal a stupendous amount of bodges... there appear to be four different spark plugs when last ran...
