Well, lots has happened since I last posted here...
I managed to find a Retrotrip on ebay... Brand New, 12 months warranty, and over £100 off the normal price! All I have to do now is buy the Sensor and the Power Conditioner, and it's in action!
The most noticeable change though is to the car's appearence. I know half of you will not approve of the Minilite alloys, but they're only for use in the winter and on road rallies etc etc! Added to the fact that I actually quite like them...! I didn't think I would, but they're not too bad!

Let me know what you all think!
I'm also watching a set of period Rally Timers on eBay at the moment, might have a chance of winning those too!Then it really will look like a Road Rally car!
Just still left to do are all the ones that actually matter... Fix the dodgy starter motor, underseal it again, Tune the carbs and sort the exhaust blow, and fit some new oil seals on the sump!
Not to mention fitting the boot once it gets back from spraying, sorting out a couple of stonechips, fit the retrotrip sensor etc, and fit a cigar lighter for extras such as maplight, terrain follower and other rallying items!

Argh! Minilites! Nooooo! Well actually they're not too bad, smaller minilites are ok its when they're on MGB's and big Healeys that they look out of place. Lovely background to the first photo- winter in the lakes!
Haha! Well I have to agree that they do look terrible on Bs and Healeys...
'Twas a lovely day today... It's -5 outside at the mo! best weather IMO!
