No this vehicle has not been stored on the sea-bed for years, it is in daily use and has been lovingly prepared to this condition. The "age" effects are 1st class and I was told a combination of body filler and Crunchie Nut Cornflakes helped with the textures :-) This attempt by me to show the texture of the vehicle does not do it true justice. At traffic stops no matter how flash the vehicle is alongside it, this is the one that gets the attention.
