Thanks for posting the photo Zac.

The car is my 'H' type drophead nearing the end of a four year restoration. Will have to wait another three or four months to see a photo of the whole car!

Although the V12 has been on the road for a few years now, it went into storage for a couple of years whilst we moved house. Re-commissioned this spring its first serious outing was at my wedding, where it did the job with great dignity.

I would call your car my benchmark - and I have a long way to go now.

Joerg, I am sure your car will be completed and look superb. You have a good starting point. Attached is what I bought, together with four pallets and a large suitcase containing the radiator - oh, and the engine was apparently 200 miles away but nobody had seen that for over ten years.
