Harit, sorry to say but I don't particulalry like the end result of the Bangalore Wolseley. Its lost something, looks too made up now. Like an old hag with loads of make up , worse still the wrong make up !!

Its easier to paint and polish old cars, but to retain their original look is close to impossible in a restoration. For this reason alone I wish they leave these cars as they are. I believe they make a precious exhibit of what 100 plus old cars look like.

At the most they could repair the damage to the roof pillars of one of the Napiers without making it look like a restoration.

I think SF Edge had a marketing arrangement for Napier cars, ie all cars were sold through him. I could be wrong but I vaguely remember reading he set up a company in the US and sold cars through that company. Which meant cars were shipped first to US and resold from there all over the world.
