This is what one with this mileage looks like...

...following the application of this wildly expensive polish...

...to produce this...

...but polish cant hide the wrinkles like flaky bits...

...Rust...

...different colour panels...

...but for the money I still like it. Don't think you will be seeing it at any outings any time soon!

I seem to be about the only owner who prefers crowns. I would love a good set.

As for the rest, well the blemishes help me keep my feet on the ground and remind me of my station in life...

I have the original steel hubcaps on mine, did think about getting alloys, but think I will keep the originals, what do you think?

The car looks great. Shame about the bonnet, but nothing a quick trip to a breakers yard couldn't sort.
