Well, after 4 years I've finally driven it!

My tractor started off looking like this

after lots of work including a full engine rebuild, a mammoth bonnet repair, its nearly finished - just the sidelights and second seat to finish.....

That looks amazing. Can you get it in the front room it would look cool in the bay window.

I'm liking that Ian

Do you have to get it road registered now or was it already reg'd ?

That looks superb, Ian! Now you need to get out and use it!

Well done!

Cheers guys

yes James, it's UK registered now (a fairly straightforward process which I did about 2 years ago before the local DVLA office closed!)

There are lots of things to learn on it - there are a lot of levers!!

Glad you all like it.

So now it's done Ian what are your plans for it...taking it to any shows next year?

Who knows - it's going to a local show here in two weeks time (to share a stand with a particularly lovely 300SL Gullwing)....other than that, will have to wait and see.

thanks for the comments - it looks even better now as it has the second seat fitted on the wing.
