Invoices going back to 2013. I’ve had the car since 12th April 2017. In that time thousands of Pounds have been spent on the car. All invoices on file in date order. Work has included:

• In September 2020 car welded, new outer sills, restored front wings, car re-sprayed, new hand-painted coachline;
• Back from welding and painting, car thoroughly injected in sills, under bonnet, under wings and wheel arches with many cans of Bilt Hamber Dynax S-50 rust-proofing;
• New headlining in 2021, along with new front door cards, front seat cushions re-made with the proper Dunlopillo support;
• Brand new bespoke lambswool overrugs in summer 2021 – never used;
