Recreating the missing hood

Top priority project for winter 2014-2015 is to get a hood and tonneau cover fitted to the car. The original hood had been missing for many years. Fortunately there are two sister cars in the UK, and with the much appreciated help of their owners we were able to measure and photograph their hoods. Currently we are fitting the new hood bows made up to suit the car. In March it is booked in at  David Nightingale Coach Trimming  for a new hood and a tonneau cover (which Stanleys usually did not have).


First trial fit of the hood bows on a lovely day back in December 2014
