Unfortunately, my desktop computer has decided that it no longer wants to connect to the web, and I can’t post any of the pictures we took as my camera won’t talk to the tablet. Will post some anon ,once the big computers running again.
At long last, and with the help of a friend who installs and maintains high end computers for a living, my desktop is now back on the net, so, as promised, I attach the photos that I would have attached on the 18th December had I been able to:-
By the way, regarding insuring the Seven and the Landrover for young Leon to drive has not been as straightforward as I had been led to believe. Marmalade, shortly after agreeing to insure both vehicles for him, suddenly decided that they couldn't insure vehicles more than 20 years old! They did return my premium however.
Eventually I contacted Adrian Flux, who insured both vehicles for him but only during his tenure as a provisional licence holder and at a cost of £330.00 premium for each vehicle. If he passes his test, I shall have to reinsure him.
I hope this helps those of you who are looking to get the youngsters involved in vintage motoring.
In the meantime, the Seven has been out a couple of times over the Christmas period, mostly just down into the town to do shopping and to make sure it is running. Given the awful weather, it quickly looked as if it had been trialling, so on Monday, I gave it a thorough bath. I shall wax polish it today all being well.
