But it is also the equivalent of rebuilding Ayrton Sennas car and driving it around a few circuits...
Not against it but slightly wierd rebuilding something that the poor bloke died in...

The kids & I had a fairly close look during the restoration as we passed the back street garage she was in (North Shields) on occasion.
Hand cutting replacement pieces to fit - painstaking work, i’ll Try & find the few photos I was allowed to take.
I was told they have permission for a run on Coniston at a max speed of 100Mph as long as certain criteria are met.
