Post by Naadeslaus »

Hi!

I will very soon start on a restoration on my 53 LCV. It need a new paint job. So it will get the original color. That is Azur blue. And i will put it back to be complete original. So i hope to get it ready for the 60th anniversery at Gaydon. I have tought on doing this for some years now, but now i realy have to get started. i will put out some pics when i starts. :D
