Lovely work. The car looks great in its original paint scheme so my vote goes towards repainting it in the same colours.

Just flicked through this, amazing progress! Glad to see the rare coupe being turned around, and to such a high standard as well! My vote on the colour is either original, or litchfield green and white - love that green!
Good luck and keep up the brilliant work, pictures upon completion!

I had a Herald 13/60 (1968)convertible. I remember having difficulty engaging first and reverse. I lifted the bonnet and asked my good lady to press the clutch and noticed that the crankshaft pulley moved forwards! The thrust bearings were worn on the crank, so the clutch didn't have enough clearance to make up the movement! Engine out, new thrust washers fitted and hey presto, all back well. Phew!
