Hi Phil,

Thats exactly it. The bins, bench seat etc. THe outer body is in lovely condition, a few bolts to change here and there but basically very sound.

It looks like this HUP had the rear part of the roof and body cut off, level with the window ledge. This has been welded back on or had an original roof welded on. The sliding roof looks original but has been heavily reinforced with angle iron on the edges and braces across it. The wheels and runners look correct but all the handles and locks are gone. Something else to look for! Cheers
James

EDIT - sorry, now I read that your HUP is earlier version.

Hi Bruce,

We might get her to W&P this year, given a bit of luck. She might not be finished though, so we will see.
