Oh my gosh! I didn't realise that the light at that angle would show up the bumpy paint. Something was wrong and it didn't want to flatten out much after brushing it on.

Wow. Lovely.

Lunchtime meeting and breakdown. We had a short-notice, lunchtime meeting at the Red Lion in Litton - and hope to make it every second Tuesday of the month - all are most welcome to join us. Robin Bower was late - he's broken down with a failed condenser. Dave Mann came to the rescue and lent him a spare distributor and, with a short tow and a fiddle with the timing, all was well.

Yes it was a lovely day out and a nice lunch at the Red Lion, it's many years since I've tow started a Seven.

Many years since I've seen that beard! It was at the Waggon & Horses, Langsett a long time ago. Looking good, Dave.

Not to be outdone by the drinks cabinet in the Highland Coupe, this morning I made a mounting for a vintage umbrella in the Pytchley.   The bottom end of the brolly is held by a simple brass screw in ring whilst the handle is located in a brass spring clip.
Lord Howe had a similar arrangement for an umbrella in his GE Wembley saloon so it is a period modification!

For a moment there I thought you'd installed shelving in it too!

Visited Milton Keynes Museum at with the grandchildren but not in Harvey. Been there a few times and found this "Restoration Project" is the Transport Hall. The "Please Quote Car Number" number is ARR 284873 and it's not in the register. 

Must try and find out whose project it is.
