Old Blue,
Overall it is very original but needs work. The rear bumper hangers have been replaced with later ones, as has the left side rear body mount. There's been a bit of patch welding here and there, but all the inner wings are very solid. The floor pans are original complete with the 'studs' for the rubber mats. Sadly water has got in at the rear of the heater channels, working it's way down to the 'A' pillars, and they can't be saved without a great deal of work.
The original (February 1957) engine, gearbox, chasis and body are all still together, but the seat covers and door panels are shot.
To bring it up to the standard I want will involve a complete restoration and some panel replacement, but I've wanted a sunroof Oval for a very long time, and I'm sure it'll end up being a great car.
(Me being me, of course I'll go over the top with it, but it's mine, and whatever work it gets will ensure it'll survive for another 55 years, hopefully longer!)
Gavin.
