Hi Si. Car coming along great.
I notice your reg plate has an 'A' reg. I thought they only came out in 1963? If your car is an actual 1962 then I would think you would be able to get a reg without any letter and it would just have the 3 letters and 3 numbers without any single letter prefix or maybe you are good with what you have. I know that you can put an old reg on a new car but you can't have a reg that appears to make a car younger. Someone said to me that reg numbers in the 60's had many strange happenings. Maybe yours is one of these. I only mention this in case you were not aware. Remember I'm that old that I have lived through all that period. Keep up the good work. Get the jig saw out and loose that roof! Cheers. John |

Thanks to my good mate Wullie, my '62 now has rear Day Mouldings Fibreglass wings. The fit of these wings are excellent, plus the bonus of never going to rust. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
