Well, the car is home. I've had a good initial look at it, and an happy with its general condition. The paint code, SNDRFT, is Sandrift, a 1940-only colour, and not military. I was hoping for khaki, but I can't complain. I've looked for the chassis number without success, but will go over the area with WD40 in the next day or so.
The car has tinworm in the guards and doors, as to be expected. No rust of any substance in the body. Engine is seized but a spare is on its way. Everything except wipers and wiper motors has come with the car.
So I'm pleased. More to follow.
Cheers,
Matt
