On Saturday I popped over to see how my and @Cycliste's Minor restoration was getting on. The car's been painted, the wood's been replaced, the suspension, brakes and steering have been rebuilt and the glass is going back in, including a new screen - it turned out the existing one was toughened not laminated glass. The reconditioned Ivor Searle engine has been delivered, as has the new gearbox (with improved oil seal at the front of the box). Major works to do involve refitting the engine and box, and fitting the interior.
The chap who's doing the restoration took the opportunity to give me the latest invoice for the restoration. Faaaaaaaaaaccckkk... Anyway, some pics...
Current executive decisions are whether to have the wheels Old English White (to match the rad slats) or silver (apparently correct for the year), and whether to keep the existing bullet external mirror on the driver's side or to have new round external mirrors on stalks fitted on both sides. Probably going to go for the OEW/new mirrors option.
