Paint problem

Hi,

I have some issues with the paint job on my recently rebuilt e type.
The issues are invisible completely in some light, but look awful at other times.
Please could anyone recommend an expert who might be kind enough to give me an opinion?
Thanks

Doors

Hi, My series 1 fhc is mechanically v good, but cosmetically a little tired. I can't afford a full on resto.

Le Mans classic (2014)

Hi,
I am hoping to attend the above.
Has anyone attended previous classics, and any words of advice re which agents to go through, campsites to aim for / avoid etc.
Any experiences of 'the happy few'?
Any experiences of paying to drive the track?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Hi, thanks for the kind replies. I believe that it was registered in April '65 if that helps. Re wheels, I ordered stainless steel wheels from Murray Scot Nelson. We had an outing last weekend.......

Bought when I couldn't afford it but wasn't old enough to know better (25), but she has survived the major dangers of marrage, house buying and a bairn ...
