Hi Trishanne and japeflakes.  Excellent work.  Very good indeed and many Thanks

I'm posting the other photo of my old Rover, I did a total restoration during all of 1957 and half way into 1958. Of course I repainted the car and the new colour was '' Conought Green '' also called '' Hawthorn Green'' a very rich dark green. It looked fantastic. BTW, I worked for a large Rover dealership in Melbourne, many many years ago.

Be good if a new background can be given to the photo instead of the corrugated iron sheets.

Thanks again

I gave her a paint job before she went out on the road. I hope the colour is OK
