I'll second Simon here on using Kevin Vernon and Tudor Motor Bodies at Market Drayton Derek. In fact I was there today leaving Kevin with a problem that I had not been able to fix myself. 2 plus 8's being collected and on their way out an MGTD just had an engine rebuild, a couple of morgans being rebuilt in the bottom shop and the Lister I saw there last week was either in the oven or had gone home. If you want to step back in time it is worth calling in on Mike and Ben Duncan sometime as well, based not too far away (Hartlebury about 10 miles)from the factory at Malvern. Enjoy the plus 8 and please don't park it up over the winter. Regards, John P
