Didn't take the owner long to "patinate" it. Here it is two years ago, advertised as having " spent 60 years in America away from salty roads meaning most of its parts are original ! "

As all the other chrome at the front still looks in perfect condition, I imagine the grill has been 'distressed' for effect.

But why ? Perhaps it is a temporary replacement while the original is being repaired / re-chromed after a pheasant attack ?

Or maybe it is a cheap Indian copy. It is very odd as the rest of the chrome was in superb nick
