    A three and half year restoration project is just coming to an end and I am delighted with the result.
    The car looks really good but drives even better than I was expecting. All the work and costs have been worthwhile.

    Hello Kevin,

    I hope you have painted your car back into the original colour and put also a light blue interieur in it? I am absolut mad about light blue interieur colour and as I do own a cream 1961 FHC wirh original red interieur, currently good interieur in black would love to have a bright blue interieur in the car......

    Would you mind uploading some pictures after restoration?

    Thank you very much!

    Stefan

    Spam prevention question (must be answered):
    The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

    What disease did Lucas succumb to?
