E-type awoke fine and coped with everything well.
Run down and through West London went well and I managed to follow my directions exactly - which is a first. Arrived at 8:30 having left at 6:00 am.
No sign on the gate but went in anyway. Got sent to the wrong place - then sent back and eventually parked up about 10:00.
Some great cars - you don't often see five D-Types together either. Oh and yes, that is Prince Michael of Kent's Bentley in the background on the left. I'll photoshop it out later.
Made it back in just under three hours and put the car away. It's filthy again, has a blowing exhaust and the valve seals need attending to as it smokes a bit too much now.
It drove well though, coped with 250 miles, in and out of London, Motorways and M25 traffic jambs and did not misbehave. Long run back but we got photographed twice by admirers so that kept me going.
It now deserves a clean and a good service.
