As part of the refresh of EX1 we have had its original number blinds remade. These are of the Mancunian style with sharp angles used by MCTD. The later curved numerals and blinds would come later. These (along with a replica via blind) have been expertly made by Blinds by PWC and Peter Watts.

Manchesters first prototype Standard vehicle, EX1 PNF 941J (a Leyland Atlantean whose chassis was a legecy order of Ashton Corporation) has been in slumber for quite afew years. Now awoken once more, it will be a feature on the rally circuit next year. But not before a well deserved repaint!
