I’m not sure. I’ve been away from the SEGA circuit for a couple of years, but I’d guess that it probably is the old car. Regardless, it’s a top notch build.

There is one aspect of the Anglia body design that I do not like. THE ROCKER PANELS Look closely at all the Anglias. At least all of the ones that kept the rocker panels under the doors. [Some builders eliminated the rocker panels completely.] The door has a raised sweeping character crease that ends midway along the lower edge. The rocker panel should have a corresponding crease to look right to me. Additionally, the front fender has a bead along the lower edge that ends halfway around the back of the fender. Very early Anglias had running boards. They bolted to the front fender and the rear fender and the rocker panel. They were eliminated, but the rocker panels were not revised to include a crease to match the door. Because the bead ends half way around the front fender it is common to find cracks where the bead ends. On SuperDave's '48 car we rebuilt the front fenders and rolled a bead around the bottom of the front fender. I will do that on the Attic Anglia, as well as adding a crease to the rocker panel to match the door. I did not do that to SD's '48 and its always bothered me. Dig the "One Holer" grill.
Very good point about the beading round the front wings/ fenders. When I started looking at these cars in the late 60s most were rotted there and / or crudely filled with plastic filler and it took me a while to learn that the beading didn’t go right round. As regards the rocker panels I have seen several Rods built with the swage line added as you suggested. The black car is Model 7Y not an Anglia. These were built 37-39. The same one hole grille was unique to these and Thames /Fordson E04C panel vans.
