My 1947 4/4 was bought in 1960 for £30. FUO 919 is still going according to DVLA, It had F-type front wings, Special Standard engine, no starter motor and very dodgy wiring. I made a complete new loom by replacing every wire. In those days one could go down to the auto-electics shop in our small town to buy any specification and colour of wire by the yard. F H Douglas supplied an oversized nut (brass / bronze?) to be lapped into the steering box and a local engineering shop welded a broken valve rocker. Different times but I learned a lot.
