it went to a better home matt, I wouldn't have the time - I just like to drool at them on here but if a small hit n miss restored came along I would be tempted.

Loving its character Abes - is this going to be an oily rag restoration?

At last she's made it home, just need to give it a quick light rub over with an oily rag and she's ready for her first rally next weekend
