It looks like the sills have been replaced; the line from the base of the front wing should be straight, and there should be a clear join line between rear sill and rear wing. I have no doubt it has been securely done, but I would expect better from a £12,000 car. _________________ in the garage: 1938 Talbot Ten Airline

Yes, the sills have definitely been worked on and are non-original. I guess they are trying to recover the fortune they spent on the engine renovation.

I find it hard to believe they found £5000 worth of work to do on a 62,000 mile engine! _________________ in the garage: 1938 Talbot Ten Airline
