Just an update on this although low mileage and rust free, it still needed a paint the paint was dead! There was surface rust starting to appear and I though better to prevent it. There was also various dents and scratches. So it's been shot blasted back to bare metal where required, and painted fully inside and out. I've also had it motd, serviced and full timing kit from Ford before I started the paint job.

Does anyone know what colour the tow eye should be ? Dark grey? Definitely not body colour.

You have to use them occasionally otherwise they deteriorate...
