Bantoft (TAS) - Swallow Doretti
1954 model - Commission
# 1262
Photographic record
of a restoration in-progress.
STAGE 1: PRE-RESTORATION
Car being collected from Phil's mother's place. Phil driving, myself (with hair back then) and sister in law |
As the car sat prior to collection under an oak tree |
After dismantling and initial attempt to paint the chassis. It was stripped, cleaned with an angle grinder & wire brush, sprayed with a fish oil and then enamelled in chassis black. In hindsight not the best job but it certainly preserved it |
Taken during the second restoration !! Just to remind me how to assemble the vertical links!! |
