Hi Robert. I don't have photos of anything other than the body at the moment. The car is still in a largely dismantled state, but is mechanically complete. For whatever reason, it was taken apart down to the last nut, bolt and screw in about 1932. When I collected it, the body looked like this..........
............The owner thought that only about 50% of it was there and wanted me to see if there was enough left to re-create the rest. When I started to sort this jig-saw puzzle out I was amazed to find that it was 98% complete!
I can't really describe the paint beyond what can be seen in the photos. There appears to be just one fairly thick coat, with an eggshell finish. The colour perhaps lacks the slightly yellowish hue that I've seen on some early military vehicles, but the surface has "bloomed" and so far I've done nothing more than sponge it down with water. The currently visible colour may not be what's actually there.
If it is WW1 paint, then I want to proceed very cautiously, as I think that it should become a conservation job rather than a restoration.
The owner in 1921 may possibly have had a connection with the Armstrong company or family and by 1925 it belonged to a Major Munro who had been wounded at Loos and Mametz Wood. It passed to his son in 1930 and was dismantled two years later for possible conversion into a pick-up truck. This never happened and it was eventually saved for preservation in 1960. Nothing was done to it until the present owner bought in, still in parts, about four years ago.
I'm intrigued by the possible history of this car and any help in establishing what it was doing between 1913 and 1921 would be greatly appreciated.
