Well done Richard with your 10 year meticulous rebuild of this fabulous engine and good to catch up with our old living van as well.

How did they get on? I love all this, the travelling between rallys is the best bit. ( if you plan well)

Judging by Matts photos on Facebook they arrived safely.

Thankfully no real problems at all. We took Crickley hill (A417/dual carriageway) in 2nd and steadily went all the way up without stopping. We were even notched right back on the reversing lever! Had to stop at the small services a mile or so past Nettleton to fill up with water, then non stop until South Cerney. A good day's run and we were all very pleased with how the day went. Traffic never seemed a problem we always had a clear road in front of us

Cheers,
Richard.
