My dad later owned a 53 and some of my earliest recollections of the car was he and friend working on rebuilding the diff on it.
All I remember is all the really BLACK greasy hands. I feel a special bond to all MY 53s.
Te be able to be involved in restoring so many of these must most definitely feel special.
Now, THAT'S COOL!
