Well not actually today, it was just over a week ago, but spotted this at Brooklands Museum and I don't think it's been put on here before.
It's got a current Vehicle Tax, so hopefully it's roadworthy.

The second garage had to replace the front brakes which first restorer messed up. The new panels started rusting six months after being fitted and there are other things to do as the first restorer replaced the floor and has now rusted and it does not go out in wet weather and is garage kept.

Oh I understand, it’s the first restorer you were referring to. Good luck with this one, there are good people out there but they are not easy to find.

Very low, but hard to say if the car has been lowered or the suspension has collapsed !
