Where did June go?

I'll start with the news of two new arrivals to the sale page. I've acquired a lovely and very original N-Type with all the bits "they" usually steal present and correct. I've some work to do to get her ship shape but I'd take a lower offer beforehand as the building work contiues without mercy. Here she is flying past at speed, sounding and going very well indeed.

In addition to the N Type I have also been reunited with JYA 771, a car which belongs to a close friend of mine. After nearly 20 years of enjoyment he has reluctantly decided to put her up for sale. You can immediately tell that the car has been well loved and looked after. It is in stunning condition, one of the best TCs around and with an excellent and detailed history file.



It has otherwise been a very busy month, the roof is now on the house and I am about to embark upon the joyous process of applying for planning permition for my new garage. Wait and see on that one. I did manage to escape the chaos and make it to Silverstone MG Live!, albeit only as a spectator. It was good to see some familiar faces and watching the racing made me reconsider the specification of my next car.. the red mist is already descending.


In other news I did finally manage to sort out that manifold for the TA / Q with the crossflow cylinder head and volumex blower. A couple of minor modifications have brought a real boost in power. Notably the manifold was altered so that the air / fuel mixture is introduced more evenly across the cylinders, preventing the first two plugs from fouling up. I have made another modification which is equally crucial - no prizes but full kudos for anyone who spots it (no Peter Burgess, it's not your sticker that I'm referring to.. although no man would be wise to doubt the sticker's "go faster stripe" effect).
