I should have thought not a worthwhile task.
Also for some reason Rubies do not command a high price.
But some engine parts should be useful

Is there a V5? I suspect 'this' car will be fully restored before you know it.

It's past restoration as a Mk I Ruby, but as a source of parts it should not be thrown away. It is amazing how well a chassis can survive from an A7, particularly when compared with other cars of the period having a box section.

I'd have thought it would buff out easily (I'll get my coat)

Hi All

It looks pretty complete.  Unlike the one I used as a basis for my first special!

Cheers

Careful, Duncan, 'cos it is on the DVLA database, so a V5 should be no problem:

It’s a pity it’s in Maidenhead, which is a long way from Bala. Besides, I don’t think I have a big enough dustpan and brush!
