There will be more original wartime parts than can be found in most airworthy WW2 aircraft....or having said that, more than all the 'original' vintage racing cars in Europe. I could have left those wrecks in the scrapyard, or brought a rare vehicle back to life and not be forgotten (there are NO running Loyds in the UK), I chose the latter, but I really do see the point of view regarding originality.
The loyd is an odd vehicle, even a good project today requires virtually all the hull replacing as they are only 2mm thick, the drivers floor rots both itself and the lower chassis rail away by design. As far as I know every restored Loyd in Europe has been made up from at LEAST two wrecks! Except Pauls that is
