Received back after just three days - from our hyper-efficient local garage - four wheels, cleaned, plastic coated and with new types and tubes. Spent a few minutes carefully scraping the coating from the wheel nut countersinks.
Took the '29 Chummy and Ruby to the nearby Litton Village Well Dressing and Wakes Celebration- a late afternoon and evening event where the village is sealed off and a grand time had by all. The Ruby was parked next to a Mercedes AMG SLS - a car that, when new in 2013, had the world's most powerful naturally aspirated engine. Its appearance after 13,000 miles was astounding, probably better than new. The owner knew all about Austin 7s and we had an enjoyable conversation. The Chummy was parked between an AC Cobra (resident in the village) and a Morgan. Two just-delivered cars also appeared, a Morgan 3-wheeler and a Bentley.
