Look what I've found (in a real barn!)

After many years of hoping one day to discover my own 'barn find', I've done it! A Riley Elf, albeit in a bad state, I have seen worse. The front panel is wrong, but it looks as if someone had planned to graft the centre section of the original on to it. Doors & boot lid are missing. A hen has laid eggs in the back & the owner is now busily searching for the documentation (& the engine!). This is for general interest only at present, there are no plans to put it on the market yet, if & when that happens I will post it in the appropriate section of the forum. Meanwhile, the owner is going to make it more accessible so I can inspect it more fully.
I was pleased to see that in keeping with road safety issues, the TV screen is angled away from the driver, I have a plan for the door gap, if I turn the green door through 90 degrees, it will look much better!
