Me neither. I did however manage to get a superb finish on Sparky, by removing all of the panels, taking them all down to Clive Annable and asking him to do them
The pre February ‘66 cars had the reflectors in the rear light cluster.
It’s a difficult call in my view. The paint is what makes a restoration & doing it myself means that I’ve done ‘the whole job’. However, if it’s not great then it can spoil the whole job......
Indeed - it has ‘simpler times’ written all over it .Great photo, Phil. I rather wish that my life looked that! I might just have to use that as a motivational desktop image to help me get my lazy backside in gear in the year ahead!

AHA! My 1967 2000TC does not have reflectors attached to boot lid. Will add them soon.This is a picture I found very recently - my first experience of a P6 - my parents' 1967 2000TC, with me as a little lad
