Thanks to all for the advice on the bodywork. I think an aluminium skin that doesn't completely hide the framework sounds appealing. As luck would have it I work for CKL Developments (down near Battle) and we have a fantastic panel beater who usually repairs D types and the like so this might make a fun alternative for him! I just need to tell him that the budget is obviously a lot less...
On the mechanical side we have just appointed a new apprentice so what better way for him to learn about old cars than to get stuck into this one?
I will keep you updated with progress.

Hi Lowespeed
I believe the Dellow is the last prototype built (the 5th one I think?) and has the first tubular chassis frame - although with some differences to the production cars. It has a 1939 Ford chassis number and is described in the log book as a Ford-Dellow. The car originally belonged to a chap called Merrick - reg number EDE384. Haven't really got the space for another project but it is fun doing the research on it!
