well had the 61 year old car for its first MOT in 35 years (after restoration)
and it PASSED.....woohoo
I can't get the free tax disc yet though as I'm awaiting the insurance documents arriving
just a few bits to finish off now (polish paintwork and sort an oil leak that started on the way back today)
a very very happy
