Bit of an update - correct gear selector mechanism and gear knob etc fitted - took months as parts supplier in USA kept sending wrong bits. Finally got car back in July and much better. After a week kickdown disappeared but once I understood how it worked, it was easily adjusted and now used at every opportunity.
Had a week away in it and lots of long runs - up to Essex to do Layer Marney Cup and then over to West Wales for a couple of nights with friends.
Car ran really well and found some great driving roads - the picture is the car on the Black Mountain Pass.
Car is being used for eldest daughters wedding in ten days time so have given the car a proper clean and sent hubcaps off for chroming as they were letting the whole thing down a bit.
All this talk of fuel injection is tempting but for now am just enjoying the car.
