Too late. Winning it already. Screen scuttles are an easy enough repair & black is easy to polish to a reasonable match. Good signs are very straight under bonnet & vinyl roof looks to be original & still good. These were the posh Crestas back in the day...Elite?? 8-)

Super car, in it's day, my mates Grandad had one.

With all your experience in restoring cars, how about some tips on rust treatment?

There was a Vauxhall Viscount featured in a television series of the 60's/70's - either the spy or detective flavour - anyone remember what it was?
