Got myself a Swallowtail...

Things are all going well. She's under the carport this week sporting a certain pink blanket… and i'm back in the lupo. very different driving experience!! Much quicker though!  

Cheers for the comments folks. Always welcome. Though to be fair Stu has kept her in this condition for the last couple years.

Been racking up the mileage on the old girl. Still a joy to drive, showing signs of age in the engine department though now, expelling blue smoke upon accelerating after a period of not doing, if that makes sense.

Anyway, she's actually at 40,500 now but hey a bench mark almost a year on from purchasing back of Stu.

Surely the engine should only be run in!

Yes indeed though it's not done many miles through it's life, sometimes only going 100 miles between mot's i guess things have worn quicker since my taking over of the ownership, in the first year it did 11000 miles, a damn sight more than it's done previously.

That's a beaut. Whats the twin 40's like, both in terms of fuel economy and performance?  8)
