new versions of the original item . After plenty of research , Andrew discovered they were still being made – but in the UK .
He had them imported and , being the stickler for detail that he is , fixed them in exactly the same position as Coronet did 55 years ago .
And then there ’ s the taillights . the original light fittings were made by Hella . You might think there ’ d be Buckley ’ s chance of finding replicas . But it turned out that while Hella no longer made them , Narva did . Andrew recreated the lighting configuration designed by Coronet ; however , for safety ’ s sake , he is planning to add additional side LED tail lamps . He was even able to salvage the original porch light !
The fully restored interior . The finish to the cabinet doors is only slightly different to the original .
The front lounge . The upholstery stitching matches the original .
