Hi everyone
Just to keep everyone up to speed.
Have set up a just giving page.https://www.justgiving.com/page/gez-parton-1679494033534?utm
We have had several offers of help and or accommodation along the route.
At the moment Josies steering needs to be sorted and the springs I put on the back are a bit high but will hopefully 
"relax" with the spare engine on the back seat that we are taking.
Thank You for all your assistance.
Keep the Wheels Turning
Regards
Gez

Hi Everyone
In preparation I have decided to take a spare engine on our tour of the UK.
I would like to thank you for the donations to the RNLI and the offers of accommodation and help along the route.
There are not many Austin Sevens with 2 engines!

Hi Gez

I can’t quite work out whether that shows commitment or paranoia  Smile.

However, best of luck!

Cheers

Howard

Only when you need it, will you regret not taking it!

More power to your elbow, Gez.
