Yesterday I fired up my RL saloon which has been side-lined over winter whilst I have worked on the Pytchley. It hasn't run since October and was left with the radiator drained and the tank half full of Tesco Momentum E5 petrol. I charged the battery about three weeks ago. Having turned on the fuel and battery master switch, I turned on the ignition, pulled the choke and pressed the starter switch. The engine turned slowly at first then speeded up and after about ten seconds the engine burst into life sounding as sweet as a nut. Whilst it was idling I filled the radiator and let it run for ten minutes to get warmed through.
It is the same every year but it still gives you a glow of satisfaction!
