Just picked up this one in a job lot, noticed it had the smooth bonnet interior then noticed the rivets. The base is a very good fit and with a little help came off, amazing that this has stayed together all these years.
The glazing has been fitted in properly and the rivet has been spun.

What a great picture showing the paint inside the body areas with what may be a pale Greyish-Green primer.

I am not at all surpised of this find by Jason, this is 'par for the course' for him :D
