Who would have thought from that first view you got when the garage doors were opened this little car would be as good as this.

The rust on the exterior paintwork is a result of poor storage.
I have viewed lots of cars over the years that did not suffer when on the road,but rusted away through being kept under sheets or leaking roofs to buildings.

Love it, given the state of the garage roof I'm amazed how sound it is.

It was advertised very local to me...makes a change.

I just had to go and have a look as there was no price listed,just offers invited.
I liked the lady selling it and her family. So made them an offer and told them it was going to a good home.

I have promised to take the lady out in the car when it is on the road.

Lovely little car, .....I really like seeing pictures like this, sort of 'As found' pictures.
I much prefer cars like this (untouched), than ones where everyone's had a go at it!
Superb!
Good luck with the project,
A the best
