Finally back on the road after an engine strip down, gearbox overhaul by Andy Bird, New clutch Steering box overhaul and a multitude of 'little jobs' that appear on the way.
Even broke my own rules and took Alfie out in light rain after what seems an eternity off the road. what a difference, it steers where you want it to go now and I can hear myself think thanks to a quiet gearbox. A little charging problem is next on the list but I do have the luxury of a centrally heated garage thanks to a bit of foresight when I built the place long before I had this crazy idea of buying an Austin 7!!

Buy an Austin 7 they said, It's easy to work on they said !
