So far I have discovered 5 different door hinges. Now, to be 100% period correct we can only try to approach the correct VIN when things have changed. The first hinges were lot thinner and only the very first did have the grease nipple. On doors of body number around 1500 I found the early hinges without any grease nipple. Not sure when the reinforced and chunky hinges were introduced. You are welcome to let me know your hinge type and what VIN you have. Many thanks

Two early cars are currently been restored by me. 885066 and 885735. First one was lacking some parts, so I needed some time to gather them. This task is almost completed as you can see in my early features page.

As the above mentioned early cars do have many features in common, I am going to restore them at the same time, often with another spare part to keep in stock.

The last three days I have spent to remove all all the dirt and grease from major components such as pedal boxes and IRS. A really dirty job and I am happy to have it all done.
