Outside work by others was the upholstery and chrome work. all fitting panel, beating and paint by the owner. the hood fold right down and is covered making it a pleasure to be out and about in.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
