Well, our '53 BN1 has been awaiting restoration since 1964. I don't
know if that is a record. Of course we have only owned it since 1997.
It has been stripped and rebuilt with the exception that the shrouds
were left on the car. Rolling chassis is assembled. Everything is
ready to go together for final fitting and paint. So, maybe next
year.
