Spotted this on Carandclassic. I love the patina, and I'm sure Rick will as well. No restoration needed at all in my eyes. This is what all pre-war cars should be like Cool

I really would love to own something like this, and just wish I could afford it.

Love it and agree, that's how it should look, perfect!

I'd remove the modern indicators and put an appropriate number plate on the old girl, 2 things that often annoy me with many and old crock Confused

Great, not dissimilar to a late-20s maroon Austin that appears at various shows locally throughout the year.

I can see your point with the indicators Dave, but what's wrong with the numberplates? They look like the originals to me.

Very nice! And at a fair price. M.W.W. lookalike.

Maybe painted, signwritten plates?
