Finally got round to taking the Speedster out today.

Plugged her into life support on Friday, started her up this morning. The engine fired up first time without any smoke.

Had a good 50 mile hoon, to get her loosened up and hot. :D

They really are well put together these old tubs, I wouldn't be able to run a Ferrari or Aston Martin the same way.

We have lived in Kent for 2 years, up until last Sunday the old girl had moved 3 times.

Twice to the local tester and a trip to Tonbridge for a service. :o
