Is that de-chromed to look like a Standard? Seems to have the full headliner...?

Alas, its a
Deluxe that fell victim to the shortage of RHD
Standard '58s. Was pulled out of a garden after 24 years. Its taken over 12 years of London sun, rain and snow as well as over 2 gallons of
Waxoyl applied to the exterior over that long 12 year period to achieve this car's look. Believe me, its not a finish you can 'fake' over a few months. Even has moss growing too. I may plant some daffs for the spring. Other than that it is fairly original.:smile:
This car is just so good in London traffic, and of course keeps up with everything else. Semaphores always cause a smile. Journeys can take longer on account of all the people that want to stop and talk about
Rattytrap.
Rattletrap's getting jeleous.:d
I like it though, John. You wouldn't want to take something with cherished bodywork through London. :thumbup:
