I bought my plus 2 as a stalled restoration about 3 years ago. I'm not making much better progress than the previous owner though!

I have stripped out the rest of the car and rebuilt the engine and carbs as well as gradually collecting together all the parts I will need.

I will be returning the car back to it's original wedgewood blue

As I bought the car (and it doesn't look much different now!)

One bit of progress I have made is to rebuild the engine.

Hopefully I'll make more progress next year after the Seven is finished.

Hi Dusty

It's good top see another early + 2 being brought back to life. I run a +2 myself and have tackled quite a few jobs myself. If you need any advice or some to discuss any problems with please do not hesitate to contct me.

All the best and good luck with your project.

Regards

Andy

Cheers, It will be a while before I get back into it again as I have to finish the Seven first though.
