Thanks all
Now I am the spring hunt, but I will run her for now until layup, where I need to replace king pin bushes and the front spring however I Need to have some fun first
I have been out in her once so far to get to know the car and its quirks, what gears to use in what circumstances etc and how to change up and down without crunching them, The last vintage car I had was a rover 10 1939 which had a knob on the dash you turned into free wheel mode so you could change gear without using the clutch, with the seven it is much more of task, my rover was slow up hills but the seven is even slower !
But I am smiling and so is everybody else and that is what vintage motoring is about
