What makes you think I'd know eh?
OK, the earlier car (a ZA Magnette) has a smaller window, the ZB has the larger one. Now I feel like a proper anorak. Sweet spotting there, Kevin.

i was driving back from wrexham with the wifey in her fiat 500 when i spotted them, i dont think sue actually knew hew car could turn so fast
the right hand car is a lot more solid and complete but id say both would be quite a big project to take on.

Yes, true enough, but look at the standard of your work and consider that it would have taken anyone else at least three years to deal with the trauma involved in finding how bad the shell was in the first place! At least with these Magnettes, you can see exactly where most of the rot is. That'll be
everywhere then!
In other news: That Imp's a very late one, me likey.

A Beetle 1303 (I'm sure it was one of those) went by this morning (Was misfiring a tad) and later on, I saw a Series 2 Land Rover, with it's canvas roof removed (It's been Sunny here today). It was a little ropey looking and there was a slight smell of oil in the air but it was at least fifty years old. I doubt you will see any "
Handbag" or yobb truck four wheel drives around in fifty years

A two tone (White or cream, with black or something dark...the light's not good right now) Riley RM just drove past the shop. The bonnet looked a tad longer, so it could have been a 2 1/2 litre. It looked a tidy one.....I wouldn't mind a 2 1/2 Riley, if I had more money, time and space
