Council chairman Bob Sears lends a bit of spit and polish to this old motor - ready for a new exhibition.
Historic cars are just part of the display now on at Basildon's Towngate Theatre.
Visitors can also learn about the town's history and view photographs of the Queen's recent visit.
The exhibition has been organised by Basildon Council and is being sponsored by a number of local businesses.
