100/6 BN4 Restoration

Good morning everyone.
I'm always looking for a lockable handle for the BN4. But now I would like to do a little history of this car.
Comes from the USA, production March 1958, chassis no. 59194, matching numbers. It was built in Abingdon in the period of overlap in the two BN4 locations, therefore with the characteristics of those manufactured in Longbridge.
Rather battered, we began a complete restoration.
Here are some initial photos.
