Although a follow up post to the thread, stated he recived a friend request on Facebook. So may be incorrect or at least I hope so

RIP Chris

condolences to his family

I don’t think I met Chris, but I know of him

I believe he used to own this Coronet, a few years ago mind, but I might be wrong …

Correct Simon, he had taken it apart and was never gonna be able to put it back together again so I bought it off him and reassembled it.

This Chris was Manchester based so not THE Big Chris... a damned shame non the less, a friendly and knowledgable guy.

RIP Chris (assuming its true)

Sad news, nice guy.

Had a very clean 70 coronet 500 IIRC, in a lovely subtle pale blue metallic on centrelines.
