The car is a little grubby in places but drives and handles really well which is what sold the car to me.
I do have some questions for you:-
1) Would my chassis be a de-dion? How can I tell?
2) The car is seriously low to the ground. Do you use a low profile jack to get under it?
3) The chrome on the nearside side pipe is rusted. Can they be re-chromed?
4) Anyone know where I can get a spinner?
Thanks,

Hi Mark and welcome to the forum. Good choice (sorry Tinka!)
Here's my 2p worth:
1) Doubtful, the de-dion chassis is a more recent development. Yours pre-dates it by a good 10 years.
2) A scissor jack or small trolley jack should easily fit. Just how low is it?
3) Probably, but it would be expensive, and if its rusting on the outside, the innards are probably not far behind. Better in the long run to replace.
4) Image Wheels can supply.
Hope this helps. Good luck and enjoy your new toy!
