I have this picture of Leroy, the owner in 2011 in London, he owned it for many years.

Imagine him seeing it again once restored!

As others have said, I think this car has gone to the best home it could!

The whole saga has been amazing so far! It's been saved, used, preserved and now is about to enter the first proper drop of 'restoration' which it probably needs to keep surviving 👌

I'd love to see it parked there after all the work being done as an 'after' shot one day! I'll chip in for the ulez fee...

Should be exempt now surely?  But if I put it in the TFL check, it isn't.  Does that mean it isn't registered as historic?

Kahn Tax is now free....I've already said I'm driving in, giving the cameras the bird!

It says Historic Vehicle on all the DVLA forms.

See you in a month!

New doors will be painted and fitted and both outer sills replaced.

And a shiny new coat.

I can’t wait to see how this rolls out of there with its new paint!

That front door is actually quite battered, I didn’t think it was as bad as that.

The outer sills were a Pandoras box....the more I went across, the more it broke away.

The drivers door step has some pudding in it, when I cut out the outer sill under there to patch it (10 years ago now!!) I looked up and could see filler coming through the rust holes in the top. 
Good old Leroy and his Isopon! 
He was determined to keep the car going.

The little visitor saga continues!

Upon removal of the o/s sills, more nuts!
