Completed all the metal work now so will go into spray booth, before being fitted up.

Tens of thousands spent on the complete rebuild, three years to get car to this stage. Taking on such a project is not for the faint hearted as fabrication work, structural engineering, obtaining a used mark one roof which is realer than hens teeth to procure takes some doing.

However, I'm happy with the outcome..

Thats nothing, will send you other catastrophes that needed to be overcome on this build shortly. The roof section is too far gone, so I sourced a roof from RenJen which is rearer than “Hen Teeth” and that will be grafted on over the next coming weeks. Front apron had pressed from Martin Robey along with front bonnet hinge panel spanning the width of the front end.

The car is probably the most extensively as well as expensively conservation ever undertaken. Only brand new Mark 1 panels have been used or fully restored new metal gone in by way of expert fabrication.

I am happy to confirm that the full nut n bolt restoration is now underway.  I am currently stripping the cars interior, engine bay, external fittings in preparation of sandblasting back to bare metal and vapour blasting engine.

The sunroof will be coming out I'm afraid and new metal replacing it. The car will be restored to the original specification build sheet supplied by Martin Robey.

Mist Grey paintwork, no sunroof, whitewall tyres and chrome trim fittings applied to the under arches to mention but a few. The car will be more of a conservation as opposed to a restoration, whereby all salvageable body panels will be taken back down to bare metal and re-fabricated, strengthened with new steel.

I shall send pictures of the engine being removed next week before it goes off for sand blasting.

Kind regards

Beautiful classic that has earned its place in history thus all attempts to keep one of these British icons on the road should be met with gusto!!
