Since she was finished at the start of the summer we've been to shows and as usual photos have made it on to the internet.
You will not believe the amount of criticism that we've received since, even from other owners and self confessed authorities on MV's. The usual comment 'trucks were never painted Brown during the war'....Seriously????
The point is that you did the research and can prove the paint colour you applied to your restored vehicle. It is the owners of spuriously painted and marked vehicles who cannot provide any proof which is frustrating.

Yes, I agree with that. It is frustrating.
