Thanks steve. It runs good as well just don't get too close or you see the imperfections in the paint. I hope to repaint it within the next 2 years. It's very comfortable inside in my opinion but older family members would say otherwise. :lol:

It's great you are using her a intended James and I think all but the top end restored cars show a bit of life on their faces. I love that and certainly wouldn't be in a rush to paint her. She looks fantastic as is.

I saw a newer on at a show last weekend and must admit, I think I would struggle to get in and out without some paramedics on site! :thumbright:

Definitely am using it properly and putting my foot down and letting the engine roar. Nice to feel like I'm in the good old days when driving it. Also even I struggle getting in and out because you sit so low but there is a trick to it.
