Why strip to bare metal and only give it a partial respray? The paint looks a bit flat to me but it's difficult to tell from the photos.

No bids, seems to have stuck, surprised to see it is finishing on Christmas Day afternoon.

May be the paint job is putting bidders off.

Looking at the photo's and reading what has been done i wonder if panels around the engine have been taken to bare metal , so bonnet,side panels and wings etc.
Poor photo's and description are not helping the fact the head is off after a engine rebuild also, problems that may just be a easy fix or not for a man who can work on it and fix himself.
Like a lot of restorations someone has parted with money and has decided to call it a day and sell unfinished.
