Slow work has slowed to a crawl due to Xmas. But we started the engine yesterday and to my amazement ( and think my father in law was even more surprised) it fired up and ran on first attempt. Need some tuning but pretty happy. Also got car back from trimmers with interior & carpets all installed.  Still waiting on door trims.

It would be worth organising a Betameeta in Oz just to have a look! Beautiful work.

Took it on its maiden journey over last weekend. Mind you it was only around the garden. Engine runs well and all gears working!  Anyway few minor issues still to do but can see light at end of tunnel. Now just to get roadworthy certificate and rego

So we good the thumbs up and received roadworthy certificate the other day. Now just need to get rego sorted and should have her maiden road going voyage in next week or two!!! Been a long three years and two cars later we have a completed restoration and fairly good looking car. (biased opinion obviously)

Fantastic- a brief maiden voyage video clip would go down pretty well on here I am sure.

Are you going to refit the mirrors and original headlights?

well done, a true concourse example. Are you going to show it somewhere e.g. motorclassica?
