Back story -
A client of dad has had it sitting in her garage since about 2000 after her husband passed away. I believe it was registered and in a reasonable working order when they bought it, but 12 years without being turned over takes it's toll!
Still unsure what year it was built exactly but we think it was between the April and December of 1960 - which now makes it older than it's owner
The compliance plate says it was originally BRG but it's now badly painted red. We didn't think it would need a respray (rather a few touch ups) but after having a good look around it today, there's a fair bit of rust, orange peel and other various dents and marks that will need attention. A possible original BRG respray may be in the pipeline.From the looks of things, we've picked up a complete car; in pieces..! Everything seems to be there. Just needs a bit of TLC which is the perfect project for dad and I who aren't particularly mechanical. But hey, it's a 52 year old British car... how hard could it be?
Ha.
