Look, it wouldn't deminish it's desirability one iota if it had the common black bodied fuel tap assembly with orange or yellow tap handle, but I was taken aback by the sight of a white one all the same.
An easy base restoration for that badly worn edge would be to simply replace it with an identical base off the much more ubiquitous green Mustang model and simply swap all the bits from your VC125 across to it.
Have you considered doing that?
