From what I have seen there is a growing market for cars in this condition. I recently saw a programme where vehicles in far worse condition than this were being admired for their "heavy patination".
If I were to be asked my opinion, I would probably try to set aside. the usual "like" or "dislike" narratives and concentrate on other qualities. This car looks like an honest and unmolested example which for me is a lesson worth learning. As someone who is seemingly open to being deceived (some might say gullible ) I would hopefully take a step back and consider it's existing merits, rather than simply restoring it.
Looking through the rear windows it would appear that this one narrowly escaped being scrapped. Presumably, someone realised it may be worth something.!

Condition wise she is very good, its a very rare survivor.
I have the Sales Brochure somewhere for one of these. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |
