Most of the tank supports have been rebuilt recently [2024], after rotting & subsequent fire damage. The Shell-Mex & BP logos are no longer visible on the tank after repainting.
The timber chassis is still fully original.

I had written a comprehensive report / specification to do this work, but my tender was, apparently, not cheap enough.
