Well chuffed took dtm for its mot and it passed with no advisories! Quick tidy up then Into the garage until March

Had to take some pics to share, as I think she's super clean underneath (Well for a country where we salt our roads!) Still has original brake pipes in good condition Bushes arn't even cracked/perished and the Irmscher springs are still bright red, not all rusty, been undersealed but I'll be going over it again!

Glad to see my old Cally has gone on to make someone else smile.
I owned her a while ago, I sold her to Alan Duncan who sold it to Steve.

There is a thread on here somewhere and MIG about my time with the old girl

Enjoy
