The car was complete
bar a few minor parts,
and one major one...
The rear seat. It took
James over a year to
find one, and the other
Cabriolet-only parts
proved equally hard
to find. In the end, the
quick buck resto ended
up being a seven-year
long project. This has
a fair bit to do with
the fact James had
a couple of career
changes along the way,
plus the fact he had no
idea restoring a Vert
would be so expensive!
It probably didn’t help
that James had to get
the car painted twice.
“During the seond
paint job I changed
the bonnet to a correct
four-tab one and also
changed the front
wings to a matching
pair of American-spec
bullet indicator wings
