The look down the bonnet is a cross between what you see driving a mk1 (with the bulge) and a mk2. Nice to see the car riding at the correct height at the front too Mike, please can we have the grille on though, mind you they weigh a bit, hope that doesn't drop the front too low LOL.

As Alan said, looks fantastic.......we can't wait to see it in Dorset.

The grill is staying off until the headlamp alignment is tweaked, but it will be fitted for the National

Car looks superb - I think you have achieved what many would have considered to be almost impossible

The car is looking soooo good Mike. Can't wait to see it in the flesh. I'm sure the MOT will be a relative formality.

Congrats Mike.... hopefully I will be holding the very same piece of paper in my hand tomorrow, although maybe not with the same level of whoo hoo - perhaps a small yay! - that Mr Chatterton expressed! :D

Well done Mike I bet you are one proud man and rightly so as your dedication and enthusiastic approach to returning this historical Triumph to the road is truly inspirational.
Now enjoy your work :D

Look forward to seeing it move under its own steam
