Fantastic news David :) :)

I can well imagine how happy you & Holly were to drive the Roadster for the first time :)

Build is looking good, have you managed to get the carbs set up now ?

One thing for sure, it'll spur you on to get the build completed.

Well done :)

Thanks everyone - was a fantastic feeling as it set off.

I'm very lucky that my wife is very supportive of my build. She's even been busy with a wire brush and the paint bursh at times helping me :D She even jumped out of the car yesterday and said - "can we trailer it to a track day" :p
