What are your plans for it Phil?

It's going to be sold as that was my plan to give myself something to do here along with renovations to the house whilst Ms French is working.

It is looking lovely though, isn't it.
Increasingly.

A bit more on the Manta done.
You can see why restoration work costs so much even if I paid myself £10 an hour it would be expensive.

Looks ace in white. Something about getting the glasshouse design right means it looks so good.

I took my annual car in lavender shot today. A week until we head to Italy and I’m starting to get proper excited.

Just repainted my front number plate and given it a bit of patina.
Best little tweak yet before I put the Weber 40's on her.

I prefer the one on the back it looks more in keeping with the period of the car. That one looks too 1960s

I see what you mean Tim I will give it a little more fettling.
The black needs to fade a little on the front one.

The Legend Paddy Hopkirk passed late yesterday afternoon 89 years of age RIP.
Paddy recalls: "Because I didn't get permission from the Catholic Church to go to Trinity, I was automatically excommunicated (a 100-year-old ban on Catholics going to Trinity was not lifted until 1970). "That gave me the freedom to kiss girls without committing a mortal sin," he quips.Mar 6, 2019

RIP Paddy, a legend, I bumped into him (literally) at Beaulieu Cooper Register Day a few years ago and was such a gent....

A mates dad used to work for Smiths instruments. He once got a lift by Paddy in one of the works Minis to the pub for lunch. Took a few snifters to recover he remembered fondly. RIP Paddy.
