Afternoon all,

For its 101 years, this neat Saxon light car is very presentable, and an interesting proposition. The finish on the bodywork is reminiscent of an aged barbeque set, but suits something of this age I think. Or is it now ready for a sympathetic re-paint?

I think so long as the structure of the body isn't suffering, I'd leave well alone.

It is a beauty, I'd love to own it.

Definitely keep as is though, it looks great.

I think if that were tarted up it would half its value.

That's John's (earlyamerican on this forum) car; I'm sure we discussed the desirability of leaving it unrestored, but I can't find the thread.

edit: just found it on page three of Winter Plans:
