Known faults:-
The paintwork has started to fade but using some “T Cut” available from Halfords seems to bring it back so I think this is a surface issue
The LH Dashboard M6 mounting stud has come away from the main shell so I have temporarily fixed it to the flyscreen. I have the original fastener.
The tonneau requires a small patch repair near drivers door.
Reason for sale I`ve bought a more modern MX559 COG is an age relevant plate. 1959 was the year Aston Martin won the Sportscar Championship including Le Mans 24hr
Currently on show plates, I have the road legal reflective yellow & white versions
The pics taken are all this month except those with the BMWs taken a 2020/ 21. Many more pics available of the build.
Gets a lot of thumbs up & smiles
Good project for this winter
