HISTORY KEEPER

THE PERIOD-CORRECT DETAILS

One addition that really stands out is the Mallorca plaque on the front. “I’ve no idea where it came from, nor who put it there but it seems to be part of the car so I left it on the grille,” explains Stephen. Most people would have simply removed it, treating it as of no consequence but somehow it seems just right. And there are other touches, too like the original numberplates — black ones into which the correct white plastic raised letters still sit. Small touches that just add to the package making the car totally complete.
