Thanks for the information, guess will have to wait for the British Motor Heritage Trust certificate to be 100% sure. Keep up the good work.
Many Thanks

Looking at the pictures of your A40 shell reminds me of those pictures of the A40 bodies on the "Rotodip" spits at Longbridge. Didn't seem to do much good that rotodip did it

the early shells were a lot better than the ones from about 64-65ish the same with the AV8 vans the late ones rotted more
