This is Allan and Cathy Jones' 1954 Roadster 4AD Allan bought the car from Roadster Registrar Bill Haverly in the mid '90s. It was 'basket case' and needed a full 'body-off' restoration. His good friend Ken Mellor, who had helped with Allan's 1932 Junior restoration, came in to help once again. The aluminium skin had to be removed and repaired. Probably 90% of the wooden frame had to be remade and a lot of the metal panels. Again Allan painted the car in his driveway, and had it retrimmed and rechromed etc. Bill Haverly was also a great help with supply of remanufactured parts, other spares and much technical advice. Allan and Cathy have taken the car to many parts of the country, including Yorkshire for the ASCO National Rally in 2007. | |||
