    That young lady has real vision: She sees the potential in the cars, not their faults. That's a really good attitude to have in life. Thanks for sharing that special moment with us. 🙂👍

      She knows it's going to be a labour of love but it will be worth it in the end. The poor car has been rescued, might take a little while to finish though! She's got a lot of learning to do! 😂

    Aww it's so nice to see her enthusiasm and she obviously knows her cars.

  • @donnarawlinsfrench220

    Going by the squared-off seat cushions and the chrome trim around the glovebox openings, 834 KNM looks to be a 1960-62 MM. Okay, that's the technical/nerdy stuff out of the way! Now a thank you for posting this - Laura's total joy when she first sighted her Traveller was just wonderful. Looking forward to the restoration updates. What a lucky girl she is to have not only her dream car, but such kind and decent parents.

    Being relatively simple mechanically and with every part available and fairly affordable, including body panels, these cars make great restoration projects, and the result is a decent, practical and attractive retro-styled little car which can be kept going virtually indefinitely. They even make good investments, selling for very good prices

      Just be careful with the quality of new parts: I prefer to sometimes source good 2nd hand parts. Some parts advertised as compatible arn't: e,g. wiper arm wheel boxes where the no. of teeth on the new one is different to the originals. Also some chrome parts don't stay rust free for many years: clean up the original one as patina is good!

    Little Laura's face was a picture, what a wonderful Suprise. I must confess I did a few whoops myself when I purchased my Traveller in December 2019. Aged 65, I've got one at long last.😃
    Looking forward to your films. Liked and subscribed.👍 Kind regards Jonnie.

    It's a lovely and romantic idea but do you really want your most cherished to be an inexperienced driver rattling around in a car that was built half a century before NCAP safety was introduced to keep motorists safe in an accident?

    • @WhitelandRestorations

      Don't worry, it's going to be a show car and she will be more experienced than most come test day! 👍
