541S - Nearly There

Post by dsimonds »

The restoration of my 541S is at the final stage and it's looking a lot better than the shell and boxes of bits at Bridge Classics last summer. Now at the snagging stage, so lots of test driving and going through everything in detail before final (hopefully) finishing back at Bridge. Then a few months in store ready for next season.

We had our share of Gremlins during restoration but now it's driving well and the issues are minor.

The body and trim colours are as close as possible to original and although there are some concessions to modern driving, I hope its fairly close to how it might have left the factory. I even managed to find and restore a tool tray which is currently at home while I try to locate the exact size tools to fit.

Looking forward to meeting more of you next year after a period of membership without a car!
