Bringing it all Back Home - 20 October 2006

The wait was much longer, and the cheque much larger than expected, but I returned to Beacon Hill on Friday 20th October to pick up KGA and a shiny new MoT certificate.

Getting 12 months' road tax for free at least meant I could be on the road without further expense.

On the plus side, there was very little wrong with KGA - a rusty brakepipe, one new tyre, valve on the screen washer. On the minus side, the "didn't look too large" holes turned out to go deep and wide, and there was much labour involved in fabricating and welding in parts.

But KGA was now my main vehicle, the Rover could be retired and I was looking forward to returning to the world of clasic motoring.
