Steve Norton has now driven his new Sebring Coupe for the first time, and aims to have it tuned by Alan Cameron before putting 500 miles on its clock in advance of the Trip to the Healey Museum at the end of September.
Hi, folks. Well, I’m back from Australia after 3 weeks away. During that time I had the pleasure of visiting the “Sprite Room” belonging to Ray English and on another day met up with Joe Armour, Bob Blayden, Neil Blaney and others. Full report on the way, once I get over the jet-lag. Also busy removing JJO’s engine and box to sort out the lack of synchro on 2nd, so am quite busy! More shortly. Best regards, Martin.
P.S. If it was you who contacted me about dimensions of the flywheel adaptor for fitting the Toyota T50 gearbox, please get back in touch as I have lost your message (and address) somehow – the wonders of the iPad!
