Practically Classics Forum

Most impressive so far, I've rarely seen one with so much good metal to weld to.
I wonder what became of the amazingly unrusted example that Peter Simpson found and recommissioned as a Practical Classics feature car a few years ago?

Thanks for feedback..this one was taken at the weekend, so almost there.............

And now some top coat

At last I think we are on the home straight.

Looking good. Our family had a 1725 Hunter this colour back in 1969.

Thanks for the kind comment, I actually quite fancy a hunter; a while ago there was one in Anglia Auctions with Leopard seat covers.

That, it has to be said, is rather attractive.

Thanks John, must say I'm proud of the "in the shed" paint job.

So you should be, I could set up in a purpose-built painting facility with millions of pounds worth of the latest equipment and still balls it up totally.
What you have there is a mixture of talent and more talent. Of that, I'm actually envious.

It was quite a special colour in its day, and probably the first metallic that my father had owned.
