With W&P fast approaching the list of things to do seems to be growing but progress is being made.
I finally got the V5 from the DVLA that allows me to officially register and use its civil registration RMY 683 from 1939. Very pleased as the rules have tightened massively in recent years Shaun stopped off here today after his trip up North to see Richie, we had some playing around to do with the ignition but after that we went for a little drive down the road and around a field next to the house. The track is bedding in nicely but theres still some work to do, miles on the clock should help. Shaun has the photos from the road trip on his phone, perhaps more of those later. looking forward to taking it to the show and meeting up with all the other folk from here. Fingers crossed for good weather.

Looks fantastic Ben.
Has the front OS track guard got some original damage, or am I seeing things?

Yeah. There's two bullet holes in the front track guard, they're in the original period shots from the AWM archives so I know they're not a post war addition. Seemed only right that they stayed. Italian bullets from Capuzzo?? Who knows? All part of its story.

Definitely a prize winner from several angles. You should be pretty pleased with yourself for what you have achieved, both from the point of view of the quality of the work you have done, and the saving of an all important piece of history.
Congrats., from me!
