I'm not overly concerned but I have noticed some coachwork cracking, mainly this is at the top front corners adbutting to the roof. I have read somewhere that the Swallow saloon body is prone to a little movement and assume that this is what has happened / happening here. Having polished the car with one of the less expensive polishes the cracks are now filled with the dry white powder paste. I will remove the gunge with a cotten bud and white spirit.
My debate point is should I simply leave the minor cracking or fill them with some sort of body filler or other suggestions please.

I have not made the discription of the location of the cracks clear, they are actually on the roof section corners.

David, I am afraid that stress cracks on a highly finished wooden framed body are something you will have to live with, I believe that modern two packs are even worse in this respect as they tend to be thicker and at the same time less resilient to any movement. The body of your car would have had a certain amount of movement when it was brand new, so don’t expect too much at 70+ tears old.

Thanks for info' Ian, your reply confirms my concern. As you suggest I shall have to live with it, I have seen many other vintage coachbuilt bodies also displaying stress crack in the paint. As I mentioned I shall clean out the white powder from the cracks and perhaps dibble in some paint to stop water getting in.
