An update on the restoration from Geoff Crouch:

"The timescale has been revised down from 2-3 years to 3 - 6 months and the
re-build has passed the half way stage in just eight weeks.

A new frame was built at our Carriage & Wagon works at Tenterden, transported to
Wittersham Road, our base, where it was reunited with its wheels.

By Friday 3rd July, the Ford engine had been installed and both end panels were
in place. All metals have been primed with the appropriate primer and
undercoated. We shall be installing the roof and brakes on Friday 10th July and
await a quote from a "professional" to install a new wiring loom and guages,
exhaust and petrol tank.

When these tasks have been completed, the floor and seats (already cut to size)
will be installed prior to the finishing layers of paint.

Costs to date? Less than £300"
