A restoration project (DS223)

We were in Leamington this morning to meet up with some friends and swap Christmas Gifts.  We did have a walk around, in the fog, and came across this old Austin part way around.  With no modern cars close and not much else 21st Century in the frame I decided it had to be my blip.

The tax disk is for May 2012 and the tyres looked ok,  so perhaps someone is getting it ready for a restoration project?  The paintwork is green (not far off racing green) but so is the lichen it appears to be growing,  and the hedge behind, so I thought monochrome would look better.

Tagged for Marlieske's derelict Sunday,  closer to a runner than many DS vehicles,  but those doors in particular are in dire need of some serious TLC.

One of the others recognised the model - but I forgot to make a note! 
Edit - Crispin25 has identified it as an A40 Devon.

Thanks to everyone who called by yesterday and commented on Gill's crochet skills.
