That’s a long way from home, PU being an Essex reg.
Shame they want to restore it to ‘as new’. Cars got loads of character as it is. Polished up the original brass hinges, later window catches, cool aftermarket dash and loads of nice bits on it. Erasing history is sad.
Glad he didn’t persist with his attempts to start it with the dip switch though
