To be fair to Paul he has rescued Austins car and apart from the number plate there is little to identify it's original builder. And that's perfect okay. I'm always a little sad when a car changes hands but remains forever associated with it's builder rather than the current owner.

Guy,
Sometimes I feel we are just guardians of certain objects and all we are doing is looking after them ready to pass them on in the future, hopefully improving them during your ownership

And, eventually, in another car or cars! I'm not sure where the original rear clam from Austin's car went when he bought the round arch one, no doubt someone will remember but I do know that the side panels that were cut off and left at Geoff Turton's workshop ended up in a skip. Until I retrieved them, stored them in my loft for a few years and then passed them on to Chris Jarvis for his project!
