It looks better from the road as it were! I did the paint job myself in 2006/7 when I last rebuilt it using a Fuji HVLP set and some 'Superfleet' paint (a nice 'air-drying synthetic' formerly made by Berger). It does get a good clean and polish every year to try and keep the paint for as long as possible.

One of my hobbies is restoring vintage railway vehicles, back to the 1860s, so I have done quite a bit of brush painting as well over the years. I have had the old heap for nearly 43 years now (well some of it anyway) so I had my 'mid life crisis car' when I was 16! Attached is a picture from 1979 - yes it has 'L' plates on it!
