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.

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!

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.
