Rolling after 49 Years

Just thought I'd share this pic.

Its my 1939 Standard Flying Eight Open Tourer. Its been off the road since 1971 as far as I can tell. I've been working on Monty (that's the name I've given him) since December 2017 to get to the point I am confident to take him out. And he Starts, Stops & runs remarkably well. Although I've only done a few miles so far. More will be done soonish I hope as we come out of this current predicament.

I'm quite proud of Monty and am looking forward to fitting a tonneau and making a hood frame and hood. If anyone has photos of the hood frame for one of these it will help me no end

Stay well and Stay Safe

Nice one Mark. Really does look nice. Sunny week ahead, maybe you can get out for a couple of runs in the countryside - following social distancing guidelines etc.

Monty, 5* General(+GM)? Most certainly. Good on you.
