Hi,
That really is lovely. Nice to see one in Maroon B as well, instead of the usual white! :wink:
Hope you're not going to be afraid to drive her now......
Best wishes,

Congratulations, it looks great.
I'm just coming to an end of two years on the restoration of a 1956 series 2 though I am proud of what I have done it's not in the same league as yours.

Looks like fresh out of the factory, congratulations!

On a side note it looks like the locking tabs for the screws holding the damper to the body aren't bent; make sure all locking tabs in the car are secure since I know from experience they can be easily overlooked :oops:

And once again, congratulations on your "new" car!

If you fancy a trip north you'd be more than welcome and can start my restoration anytime.

You have a really nice example I hope mine is anything like yours.

I must say your car is just fantastic. I have just started stripping a 1957 4 door for full restoration. If it comes out anywhere nearly as good as yours I will be a happy man indeed. :D
