It’s been a busy few days and last night I had my doubts the car would ever be ready in time but today all the effort was worth it as I got a MOT certificate. Thankfully my local garage is very understanding towards classic cars and on the few items he could have failed the Marcos on he quickly fixed for me or pointed them out to me so I could fix them after the MOT before taking it out on the road in anger.
Although I have an MOT I won’t be able to take the car out for the next week or so as I’ve removed the seats to have the head rests recovered. The rear screen needs to come back out as the seal needs to be replaced and the most serious issue is the seal around the petrol tank sensor is leaking. Luckily the strong smell of petrol alerted me to this fault when I filled the car up for the first time on the way home from the MOT testing station.
