Very nice JOH.
If I remember correctly, from 2017/18 messages, you were restoring your car . So great to see it finished and that you are already using it to go on a trip !
Can I be so bold ( or rude ...) to make a suggestion .... Have the radio delete plate painted in the body colour like the rest of the metal panel in the dashboard . I received a blue radio delete plate and had it painted white like the rest of the car and it blends in much better . I also think that is how they were orginally, body colour.
Any case , congratulations on your restoration. Enjoy the trip.
Regards
Pedro

Nice shots JOH!  Thanks for posting.  I especially like the contrast of the light interior against the dark body color.

Well, the car itself doesn't know their American [bumpers], and where I live in London drivers tend to make more contact when parking than what's good for any car! I also don't hold with the puritan line that the car looks better without them. I like them!
