First of all, I have to say, that is better than a Beauford - not by much, but the rear Auster screen is sensible to help protect the bride's hairdo.

It's RHD, but I reckon it's from far away. Is it from the UK ?

Locked for you for the details, it won't take much and it's just to add some more about this nice creation.

Perfect!  :thumbsup:
It was enough to say that is a one-off selfbuilt from scratch by John Mander.
Quite remarkable for a single man one-off!
