I have made a start on Aimie's dolly pram (a 1965 silver cross "super rose"

The pram when we first bought it, a gorgeous racing green coachbuilt dolls pram that I bought for £45! the tires need replacing and there is a big dent in the body that the previous owner painted over in the wrong colour so I will be sanding down the body and chassis to the original silver metal and re painting it in purple. the hood and apron need to be replaced because they are very faded and worn with holes ...
