Ripe for restoration. Overpainted with blue over blue, just as you would have expected from this period but the Vanguard was never given such luxury. The original was beige but I decided to go for the light blue. Rusty chassis but otherwise the model did not require any repair. The earlier model had rear wheel arches as shown in the 1957 catalogue. The 1958 shows enclosed rear wheels.

Restoring a previously restored model. I do not normally buy restored models but this came as part of a bundle and was in need of a proper restore. Strip down and prime followed the standard procedure, but after priming there were noticeable pits in the roof and other areas. So strip down again and fill, rub down and spray. It was worth the effort. Final images to be added ....
