Surprised that hasn't been done more regularly what with people trying to cover bad wood etc. The wood would last forever under a good coat of primer/paint. I sort of like it! (blasphemy they cry!)

Not sure if I do or not but from what I can see when the pictures are blown up they don't seem to have done a bad job of the body work......
However you'd need to see it close up and I'd would be nervous of painted wood, as has been said, it can cover a multitude of sins....... and I think I can see an area that looks like it might have been filled in the back door shot, up top by the gutter line on the passenger side....
1954 Series 2: 4 door: "Sally" -- Back together, more flatting and polishing to come, now the engine just refuses to run properly....... :roll:
1970 Triumph Herald 1200: "Hetty" -- Driven back from Llangollen in Wales (twice.....)
1952 Morris Minor MM highlight with sidevalve engine still fitted, wants work, so joins the queue for now......

Apart from the bodgery aspect it's hidden the charm and character of a Traveller.

I quite like it, if the wood was in decent condition before it was painted then fair enough, a decent idea.

I believe a very suitable Americanism may be "you cant judge the wood by looking at the paint"
