    Looking ace! You’ll be on the road very soon. I was terrified of using mine to begin with after spending so much time and money but that soon passes. On the first drive I was scowling at fast drivers coming in the opposite direction for fear of stonechips but to be fair scowls have changed to smiles now and we just use it as much as we can!

    I really like the continental interior, reminds me of my first bay I bought many moons ago in my early 20’s. I always regretted selling it too. We too had amazing help with Adam at NLA to bring our Berlin interior up to a decent standard.

    Keep going! You’re nearly there!

    Now make sure that you buy some white linen gloves before you pick her up so that you can keep your fingerprints off the paintwork ;)
