Don't suppose you know any previous owners?

Unfortunately not. I bought it off ebay around that time with a view to restoring it. Once i got it home i decided it was going to take more time and more money than i had at the time so it went back on ebay and i made a tidy profit on it. I heard from a friend that it had found its way into the hands of Spadge Hopkins at Cottage Classics and was being restored by him. I seems to recall that the Cottage Classics website had a few photos of the car within their "current projects" section sometime later in 2003/early 2004 which would have been consistent with them working on that car around that period.
