Re: After 16 years..............
Thanks for the kind comments. Today was the day that I first drove the car - only a couple of times around the yard. Seems strange after nearly 20 years of having it in various garages/barns/lock ups.

What a great moment. And what a wait. Looks like it's going to be worth it. Car looks fab.

Re: After 16 years..............
Good news today from Jez at GCS - Passed the MOT.
Now I have to change over the tax class to historic. The car was first registered in the UK in 1982 and was last on the road in 1989. It does state on the V5 'Declared manufactured in 1970'. The question is - do you think I'll still need to get some form of proof of date of manufacture for DVLA?

Re: After 16 years..............
I would think that if it already states 'Declared manufactured in 1970' on the V5 that would be sufficient - should be a formailty ...
