Good to hear that there wasn't a difference in colour after the film was removed. Red can fade a bit, and some plastic films have UV inhibitors that will block the damaging UVrays to a degree.
The previous owner obviously took great care of it, and likely had it in a case most of the time.
You were in the right place at the right time for the Hamer!!
Definitely lucky!!
Reminds of a local auction I went to about 4 years ago where I picked up a small box of tools for $10.00. There was a box of walkie talkie parts that hadn't sold previously, so the auctioneer decided to tack it onto my lot for free. At first I didn't want it, but what the hell. I had absolutely no use for those things, so I thought I'd make $ 20 on ebay with them.
The damned things ended up selling for $ 1400.00!!!!!
So I think I know how you felt at the moment when you thought you were going to s#!t yourself! Me and my wife were just staring at the computer screen in disbelief.
That's my lucky story. I think it'd be hard to top yours though. You should post pictures of it and let others drool too!!!
