i'm restoring a 1957 myself at the moment, first model to have the orbital
satellite relays but the bodywork is a little scorched fom the sellafield
fire next to the assembly plant and it has suffered over the years from
previous owners using the wrong grade of fuel, but still a good runner
even
though it's now approaching classic status, i think you'll find there are
plenty still on the market due to many little old ladies finding them a
little difficult to handle in the wet
