Fantastic! Very quirky. It reminds me of this little cabriolet spotted at Beaulieu some years ago ... I'm afraid  can't remember the owner's name.

This is Gerald Walker’s car - he is in the background.

There's a lovely word, purfling, never heard it before. Had to look it up...

Yes indeed. There are purfling dealers who offer an extraordinary range of patterns and sizes.

I learned something else today... I pointed out to my upholsterer friend that the leather was thicker than I expected, he said that if I had scraped it to make it thinner I would be a sciver. His local shoe making factory had a whole sciving department apparently. I've found my perfect job.

If you missed being a sciver, perhaps there is time to become a  saggar makers bottom knocker?
