NIPPY/65 WOODWORK


This seems to have been the Year of the Long-Lost Nippies! We have just roused this one from a 48-year slumber.

This is a lovely, complete and original car that is still owned by the gentleman who, as a student, bought it in 1962. He hopes to return it to the road next year.

It appears to be completely unmolested and we shall be able to make a full set of accurate woodwork patterns from it, with new parts in kiln-dried American white ash being available ex-stock in about four weeks' time.

Please let me know if you're interested in reserving parts.

fabulous colour! hope he keeps it that way. Quite a late one?

Re: NIPPY/65 WOODWORK


I'm afraid that the Jaffa Cake look may not be around for much longer. It will, I understand, revert to its original blue and black.

I believe that the car was first registered in December '34.

Looks to me like a steel bodied Nippy rather than a 65
