Your restorations have a degree of "patina "


Thank you but the p6 has had a nut and bolt engine rebuild same with the spitfire the Armstrong had a nut and bolt restoration 25 years ago and the paint got cracked when it was taken to the states then the guy died so the family got it back to the uk where it stood in a garage for 10+ years where the garage fell around it then some people was going to restore it and hire it for weddings then fell out so my dad got the Armstrong back 3 years ago and just needs a respray now
