Well, collection has been provisionally arranged for the weekend of 22nd / 23rd October depending on confirmation of the tow car / trailer. The challenge is to have him drive onto the trailer by the end of Saturday under his own power.......
;D

Yes, I did hear a rumour of a forthcoming visit. Excellent news! I'll put that weekend in the calendar and hope to look forward to meeting up again.

Boris lives! photos will have to wait unless someone else does them first because I'm on my phone and they're on my camera. He's now strapped safely on the trailer ready to head to Anglesey tomorrow, having loaded himself under his own power Ok so it did involve a can of petrol under the bonnet and a couple of wires from the battery to ignition and starter - he smoked a bit from the dash and melted his ignition switch when I turned the key so decided to bypass that for now - but he was running and driving and the rest is just getting the knots in the electric string right

Well Done Joe. At least you know Boris is running...although slighty bodged. Looking for photos of the great expedition soon. John

Yes, it's true! ;D
I can confirm that Joe has worked his magic again, as evidenced on YouTube!

Bump! ;D Finally got a start on the work on Boris today, with his engine coming out to look at the smoking clutch. Sorry about the fixed camera angle but I didn't think anyone would keep up following me with a camera at the speed I was working
