You can paint it pink if you want Squire, it's your motor. |
|
Right or wrong is only in the equation for rivet counters, I |
|
think it's grand!😀👍 |

An interesting grill, better than the plastic Seris 3 one |
|
perhaps, and almost a throwback to 1948? |
|
I like in 'eanor - the posh end where we spell it with a capital |
|
apostrophe! |
|
I have dark blue Series 2 soft top you may see around. |
|
This is it in one of its normal resting places (not taken by |
|
me)! |

It looks better from the road as it were! I did the paint job |
|
myself in 2006/7 when I last rebuilt it using a Fuji HVLP set |
|
and some 'Superfleet' paint (a nice 'air-drying synthetic' |
|
formerly made by Berger). It does get a good clean and polish |
|
every year to try and keep the paint for as long as possible. |
|
One of my hobbies is restoring vintage railway vehicles, back to |
|
the 1860s, so I have done quite a bit of brush painting as well |
|
over the years. I have had the old heap for nearly 43 years now |
|
(well some of it anyway) so I had my 'mid life crisis car' when |
|
I was 16! Attached is a picture from 1979 - yes it has 'L' |
|
plates on it! |

I bought it unseen from near Black mountain about 12yrs ago now |
|
, it had been a shooting hack I think got half a carrier bag of |
|
shotgun shells out of it when stripped it down . |
|
Not running too bad now but it does let me knoe who's boss and |
|
break down , last week throttle cable broke ! |
