Make no apologies David, that's a beautiful classic, and worth even more as it was your Dad's car... "Priceless!"
Line up the cars and get a good series of pictures of them as they are now, and send your Dad a set showing it in it's happy new home with friends to play with. Then update the pictures as things progress...
Then you'll also have a history for both cars when it comes time to pass them onto your kids!
