Am going to let it only joking.

Will be original.

Just can't decide on original black with new leather (red) interior or go for something different (the wife wants it burgandy and cream - to 'do' weddings).

There's no rush though. The wife says as long as it's ready for our daughter's wedding she's not bothered how long it takes (Daughter is 6!)

If you do that up properly it's going to be immense.

Meteor tank engine I think...

Can only open the boot a couple of inch at the mo and only 1 door opens at the mo so who knows what else we'll find inside.

The interior has mostly rotted away but the chrome wheel hubs are on the passenger seat.

It's 60 yr old and has only done 33k !!!!

I hope you know how much it takes to fully restore a car.

They are not easy projects

Yeah, Pulled wall down, uprooted tree and removed lawn while the wife was at work - then thought I'd better email her to warn her before she came home!

Doug - the guy from the Alvis company is coming up to verify it and give me some advice. Been in touch with a guy in Crewe who restores them and he's got tons of parts too.

Also...... Mark Evans is interested in coming to see it. The wife was horrified - she doesn't want to be on TV - although she does quite like him! lol
