Well done! Not many of us (if any) have our cars featured on a postage stamp.She looks lovely especially with the spot light and warning bell on the nearside running board.Have you found another one to restore?

Has anybody a view on tyres?
The rear ones on my '27 12/4 will need replacing soon.They are Dunlop 21 inch and new ones,if available cost more than an arm and a leg.I fitted Waymasters to my Riley, they are OK but only 4 ply.
