Back at Last!

It’s  been a long time coming, but JSK is back at home and tucked up safe in my garage. Here is a picture of her arriving after coming back from Watermill Carriage Co.

Initial thoughts are that I am very, very pleased with the car. I’ve had a nose round it it seems like there is little left that hasn’t been touched by Stuart/Chris. She drives beautifully – it’s amazing how quiet the chassis is now it is all bolted down properly and has the rubber mountings fitted now. The steering is very stiff, but not notchy anymore but most importantly the engine and gearbox are lovely.

Not a video, but to be honest, it was too good not to post!
