Always wanted a +2 after seeing one going sideways on a smirry day in 1968 or so, I was 6. The sound! Work. Life. A classic car pal found this one being rebuilt after a fire - new chassis etc Got it and have tinkered since. Did a few trips. Marvellous if tatty car. The sound!!

Water pump blew around 10 years ago and I didn't have time to do anything as working like a maniac - so it sat in a garage until 2021. Now engine rebuilt and being refurbished. Engine going back in imminently. New suspension and brakes. Mick Miller direct drives in place of doughnuts. New radiator, clutch and exhaust etc etc. Maybe on the road again this year - definitely next year, depending on how tidy I need it to be.
