Hi, I have just purchased a 1959 car in lovely condition and would greatly appreciate a little advice. Where can I best source parts, the car is very original (6v,semaphores etc) and I would like where possible to maintain this? The car is missing the panel behind the dash,i.e when you lift the bonnet there is a gap behind the dash,the workings are visible? I'm sure there will be many other queries as I "find my way", many thanks in advance for any help.
