Default 1940 Convertible

Hello,and sorry for not posting earlier as I was accepted last year.I am in Dublin Ireland and Last September I purchased a 1940 convertible in Valencia Spain. It's very nice condition having had some restoration done possibly 30 years ago or so.Have been doing mostly small jobs on it since,but will put it on the road next couple of weeks. It's on the button and ready to go but have been tied up with other projects so it's been put on hold. It's not mint but is a very nice usable car. I paid the equivalent of about 40k dollars in euros so it wasn't overpriced I don't think.Great forums here and love reading them. Thanks
Martin.

Looks like a nice 40. Plus, you did good on the price.
More photos please.

Yes of course. Here I am posing with it after it arrived from sunny Spain.

Very nice convertible. Will give you a life time of enjoyment. Maybe more so in northern Europe.
