BODY RESTORATION

The car had a body off restoration in 1990. Here are some of the photographs taken at that time.

Before restoration. The bronze paintwork  is surely not original!

The chassis and engine after cleaning and painting.

Body and chassis reunited.

The present colour combination of maroon body and grey interior is not listed in the information that I have as an original Rover combination.  However I think it looks good and is reminiscent of the late P4s that appeared in this two tone colour scheme. Maybe that's where the inspiration came from. Any information on the colour scheme would be welcomed.
