Dear All,
I write to introduce myself, and my car. I am about to embark on what is likely to be a fairly lengthy restoration after an even longer period of rest that the poor little car has been subjected to!
By way of background, I have inherited what was originally a 1931 Export RHD tourer. Regrettably, it has not turned a wheel since the late 1960s, but thankfully has been stored in a wonderfully dry environment in Southern Europe.
Over the years it appears to have changed shape somewhat and now resembles a Nippy at the rear end, but interestingly twinned with what appears to be an Austin 8 grill.
I shall, undoubtedly, be turning to you all for advice, and most likely encouragement over the coming months & years!
I include a couple of photographs of how the car was when unearthed and of it back home ready to have the years of grime carefully removed.
Best,
Tom
