What to Do ?

So SAAB off to see the Talbot in the morning. Picked up John Day on the way for help. Here we are looking at it.

As I thought, it looks better in the flesh as the rear seems to shrink away. As to the drive. OK - to start with I could not see over the steering wheel - then I was too far away from the pedals - so the test drive was very hard work. However - she went well (well faster than the Imp) and we did a stretch on the A14 to show the speed was up to it - just.

So what to do now ? Return tomorrow with padding and try driving it again.

Finally I thought I see what mess I have made of the E-type - so I took it out in the fading sunshine.

Seems very little was wrong after a spirited drive - but I'll be getting Abbotts to re-tune it this year as part of the service.
