Nice find! Questions are the most fun, and an important part of the restore. Everyone on this forum will help if they can.
Was it recently imported to the UK - or was it imported in 1945 or so?
It does look like a nice find - and ask away!
Well done Sir. From the looks of it, you found yourself a great starting point.
You really have something there Steve! The best vehicles to restore come from the "Sun Belt" here in the USA. A California car is what everyone is looking for. The sun states are the best for old cars.

".. i would like some advice!" We have all kinds of advice, all of it is free and well worth what you will pay for it!
BMorgil - do you still have the "Start up" paper archived and could you point Steve to it?
It is forever preserved in the Tech Library.
