After many years of hibernation and a lot of spannering to enhance or improve the
car, it is finally back on the road done about 400 miles so far with most it being early on sunday mornings, i did contemplate selling it but soon banished that idea,
the grin factor is priceless :) i stopped to take a few pics early this morning.
