Land Rover Series 3 Varnish Or Not To Varnish

I'll be honest, I have never seen a 'proper' Landy with a shiny finish.
I suggest a satin finish. Maybe mix the Tamiya Gloss and Matt clears?

 

Cheers,

Well they were for farmers only! Our eldest son had a lightweight paratrooper short-wheelbase Lanny it was never shiny from the start!

This was taken last week on the day I finally took it out of the garage after almost a year. The paint is original and has been T-Cut back to remove the oxidation, then given a polish with Mer. They came out of the factory without any clear-coat, just the colour paint, so a gloss clear coat would look too shiny. IMHO (and it is just a HO) it would probably look about right with a satin finish, be that varnish or just the paint to achieve the finish.
