Thank you everyone. So many memories. I said, in jest, to Mrs B on the way back we should sell the car as I don't think we will ever have a better trip than this! However, we will try. There will be a trip in the 914 later this year and something bigger for next year

As a footnote. The only repairs were a

- nut for the pressure warning connector
- Pinching on the temperature connector and tapping it on
- removing the fuel filter element

The Winterburn CDI, rebuilt generator and LED lights make this car a joy to tour in.

Today our everyday Toyota decided not to start :( In fairness to Toyota, I removed the starter, and I think it was the original 22 year old one!
