Dave

Hi Dave and welcome. I've lived in that area most of my life so no doubt would have seen your A40 round and about. Nice Devon reg. too 'DV'. I wonder, did she make it all the way up t' north under her own steam?
Got any photos please?

Cheers,
Clive

Hi Dave, I'm not far from you. I'll keep an eye out for your A40 on the A590!

Thank you I purchased Hanna from a club member called Harry Emmerson who has died , I believe he had a collection of cars which his wife has sold , Harry purchased it from a dealer in Exeter around 2003 , Hanna has a huge History file including many original documents and service book also a full photographic documentation of her restoration I used a transport company from Worcester to transport her as I bought her unseen , photos to follow .
