I went and collected it today.
On removing it from the dark garage it became obvious that it was originally white.
The lady who was selling on behalf of her late husband had no Idea it had been painted when i asked her the other day... but it appears it was done before they met.
Also in the paperwork it says it was white from new. .. oh and the receipt for about £50 in 1972 for the full inside and out respray tells the story too...
It appears to have its original purchase receipt, all UK MOTs, all UK Tax Discs, Original Disc from belgium. All the hand books and more...
I've got a long night ahead looking through that lot.
The car is surprisingly solid - But battered.
The brakes even work as do the lights and wipers...
I've poured diesel in the bores to see if it will unseize, but dont hold out much hope.
Turns out the milage is actually 70,000 kms... so about 43500 miles!
