Excellent progress Richard after various frustrations with the engine and MFI. You must now feel heartened that the finish line is in sight?
Hopefully the DVLA will get their act together shortly.

Looks stunning. I had no idea you could insure against the chassis number, great idea...

Does look good. Make sure you’re short exhaust doesn’t damage the paint from heat and unburnt fuel though .

Red racer .. Insuring on then chassis number is pretty easy thing to do ... I did the same when I drive my 964 back from Germany on German temp plates

I insured it on the chassis number and went for a little early evening drive:

(Please excuse ride height, unfinished cosmetics and temporary exhaust)
Picture is not showing on my screen. Is there a problem?
