needs adifferent wheelhoose and a44 kelvin to be original
oohhh controversial! 
I think that wheelhouse came off Robert Dunlop's Rose Valley out of Newhaven(vaguely goes through my mind that Robert (Golly Me) was a joiner to trade and built it himself,but I'm not 100% sure about that) Would need to ask Bow Tow on here,he would know. It's definately not the wheelhouse she had on in the 60s,which was probably the original,I know that for a fact
no its definately not the original, your spot on there ronnie, got some pics of her in the shed minus the wheelhouse somewhere
There was a bonny pic of her in St Abbs with her wee wheelhouse on Young Tayne's site Mark.I think it was Ally who posted it.The boys who restored her deserve the highest praise for their work,no doubt about that.It's guys like that who should be in the New Year's honours list for the work they do,no some of the wan*ers who only get a gong because they greased the right palm,donated a big wedge to the party coffers or made millions selling records.
Hang on Ronnie, I've got the C.D.M. and Bar and I'm not a big w*nker

As a crewman of ours many years ago used to say "he's got the VC VD and scar"
I'd have thocht that you two, Ronnie and Steve would have at least had the EWHO medal.
