Let's take a closer look at the bodywork of OVP. As said, the vehicle was used for filming dressed as a police car by MG Rover and when the time came to remove the reflective decals, no care was taken to protect the paint finish, a Stanley knife was used to cut the police stickers to size and when peeled off, along came clumps of lacquer. The result was that nearly every body panel was damaged and had gone rusty as a result. Take a look......


















Here you can see that the wrong piece of waist trim has been fitted to the left of the door handle, it's from the other side of the car


Wot, no lacquer


Skull cap mirrors painted in Dover White - the wrong colour for the car, and the wrong mirror shape for the era




Note the delaminated number plate





Time to get ready for the body shop at last.............
