Destination display Feb 2020
The destination windows were mounted in an ill-fitting piece of fibreglass that had been installed when the vehicle was first preserved circa 1983. It needed to be replaced, this has been done, but now we need to determine the exact position for the windows. It seems that the position on the 1969 vehicles differed (slightly!) from that on the OAX-F batch from 1968.

The seats that I had cleaned about two years ago needed to be polished.

The cream/grey sides are rexine; the red material is leather.

The rexine tends to have stained at the back, where there is a divider in the seat frame, between the two cushions.
