Really nice job!

And I hate to say it, but I think you need to find a rolling chassis to go with it! Or even a car with a tired engine.

In the U.S. of A. there are several Facebook pages devoted to the PV544 such as this one. If something similar in England, Perhaps you can post a "wanted to buy" and see what turns up.

Regarding long term storage, there is a spray type fogging oil made for winter storage of outboard boat motors. If you can find some at your local boatyard, I might use that to coat the engine internals for long term storage.

Thanks, BlueOsprey. I will probably put a wanted ad on the forum. Missed what seemed to be a great project - a South African car needing total rebuild and claiming to have minimal rust.

Step 1, find dry secure storage locally for my P2150-not-E to give me space.
