A good tip for restorers is : to hide a less than perfect body, use dead flat paint - AKA lusterless finish ..it gives that used look and it hides all those little imperfections .

True. Look the only reason I mentioned the darn thing is because I thought it might be of interest to someone in the area that is after a nice original series 1 shorty to restore. It looks pretty sweet compared to alot of what I have seen around.

They're becoming harder and harder to find in an "un-butchered" state so I thought I would post it up. I dont know if it is for sale. If you are keen you will find the owner and talk them into selling it because at the minute whoever owns it doesn't give a toss by the looks of things.

If anyone is interested you can PM me and I will tell you where it is. Apparently this will help to reduce the chance of the poor thing being knocked off or cannibalised.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

yep agree on the lusterless paint. i used it on my 55 Series 1. and i will use the same paint on my 80" too. I used Machine Enamel with a satin additive. ;)

I have temporarily moved Hebe's post pending discussion between the Mods as it contained a link to a Google map.

If the vehicle is not for sale, it probably shouldn't be flagged on here.

Thinking about it further.... maybe better remove the link to google maps. Just let everyone know it is not for sale. In fact nobody needs to know where it is parked. Could be an unessesary parts thieving temptation....
