Don't worry chaps, she's staying exactly as you see her now
Familymad has had her for a few years actually and has done an amazing job of renewing the underpinnings, galvanised chassis and bulkhead, rebuilt gear and transfer boxes, new brakes, replacement cotton covered loom etc etc but kept the 50 year old patina'd body work - awesome job  |

Very nice, very "period", a wonderful machine!
Makes me wish I hadn't sold my old 1961 Series 2!  |

The ONLY change we MAY make is to add some (fully removable) period signwriting to the doors to help promote the business, other than routine servicing everything else will remain as is
