Saturday 930 put back in storage.
Picked up Monsier Aubergine from trimmers last night, very pleased with quality of finish.
Car goes back to painters today for final polish.
Looking forward to CLM

Bought my new insurance cover from Hagerty this morning.

What excellent, enthusiastic and quick simple service!
Never known this before.

Oh, the most comprehensive and cheapest/mile I've found for my 73T with a 3.2 and other 'tricky' mods.

no wonder you all give then 10/10.
He spoke fluent 'DDK' to me; felt right at home.

Dead chuffed.

£213 for 4K miles, 30K agreed value and 30 days cover abroad (roll on SPA in Sept!)
