Finished at last!

Following our test day at Silverstone, the only problem was the need to reset the front ride height. So we reckoned the car was ready for painting. To do this meant we had to take the front and rear bodywork off (again!)

Anyway, the finished result met all our expectations.


The colour is the originally specified BRG .









The number plate lettering is specially computer generated script to the correct period 3 1/2 inch size letters.
We plan to put some miles on the car to fully run it in then - - - - -watch this space!!

Testing, testing - - -

The picture shows Jerry driving at Silverstone on 19th April at the HGPCA Track day.



He completed some 50 laps to shake down the car and run it in.


We had some problems with air in the brakes but it was a very successful day and the car created alot of interest.




This picture shows Jerry about to leave on his first lap!

Note the period helmet!


Prior to this test day, we had completed assembly of the car and tested it at Tibenham airfield - the place we used earlier in the year when we were waiting for the bodywork.




The next phase is to get the car MoT tested, licensed and then painted.
