This was last years rebuild. Now Janices car, christened Louis [after her favourite 4x4 man] no not really it was because the original number plate had LW in it. He was/is an 1971 body shell saved from the crusher on a decent chassis that currently hangs on the wall at the back of the barn.

We will be using Louis for the World Meeting. We have ticket number 348.

That Ami shell looks like it was fairly solid - was it?

It was a very solid car. When the tractor with muck spreader attached reversed into it, it damaged just about everything including the windscreen pillars and a nice buckle to the roof.
