If thats Manchester Road in Haslingden you were next to my work buying that. Brave man 😄

It is but it was very cheap indeed for what it is. Hard to go wrong really…already sourced a box  for it too!

Anyway, back to the Mercedes for the moment.

It’s now (mostly) back together and fully road legal so it’s had a bath this morning and is now going to be used as my daily for the time being.

The eagle eyed among you may, if you squint and look really closely, MAY just about spot that there are still some red bits inside. Once the robbing gits who charged me £15 postage on top of too much money in the first place for two colour matched cans of vinylkote finally see fit to deliver my order, there’s a bit of light finishing to do, along with some matching door cards to fit.

Hopefully, it’ll be a bit more finished by next Friday when it’s due to make an appearance at The Great British Car Journey, for @motorpunk’s book launch 🙂
