Yep, same here. I did just what Polar suggests. The difference was that I removed the useless rad cowl during my restoration. It serves no useful, mechanical or thermal purpose.

Thanks,
Forget the cowl then. I cannot remember if I have one anyway.
The wheels are the same as the roof, snowberry I think I have them matched.
I had my favourite Blockleys put on as well.
I use them on all the old cars, they are excellent.

Looks like you ahve got the radiator cowling (on the left side inner wing) and probably too late to remove it.
They deleted it from bodyshells some time in the early 70's or so. Waste of time and material

Well I guess I will stick with what I have got!
Thought I would change the thread title as "Floor and Sill Options" is a bit "platform announcer" and certainly less exciting than a film with Christopher Lee, Boris Karloff, Barbara Steele and vampires.
I still have the buff log book with Vernon Sewells ( the directors') address as the first owner, somewhere posh in SW1.

Has the wheel nearest the camera got a shallower rim inset than the two behind it? Or is that camera angle?

All the same Peter.
It would be nice to get them on!
