Oooo what chance this R-R receives a sympathetic "oily rag" restoration? That's certainly what I'd like to do to it Cool

I hope the saloon body is retained.

My Grandfather owned a 20/25, sold when I was a lot younger. We did find pictures of it in the last few years and the restoration was awful. It was originally maroon over black but is now bright white with horrible red velvety interior.

If I won the lottery I'd buy it back and restore it correctly!

Saw that too yesterday and thought that it was remarkably cheap especially as the engine is reputedly free and with compression

I think you'd struggle to make that anything like habitable inside with just an "oily rag" Rick !!! Laughing

Agreed, the interior is a little weathered, but I'm sure something could be done with the exterior without fully re-doing it Smile

No nibbles so far (apart from by the mice), just a day-and-a-half to go ...
