Malc That looks very good. These old cars have a primitive look (which is what i so much like about them), i guess it might be called character, but wow didn't they have some state of the art workings. So says someone that knows nothing about cars but to my untrained eye little difference between a vintage car and some of todays offerings. Bit more electronics to go wrong and everything sealed up. That alclad paint has gone down well on the pipework. Hope it all continues well. Tony Happy Modelling

Hi Tony. Thanks for the kind comments. You're right that these older cars have some real "character" and some impressive engineering considering the materials that they had available.

Worth a mention is the clash between this control rod ( throttle I think ? ) and the engine block mounting boss. I saw this highlighted in other build diaries as well. My solution was to cut off the end lever and change its angle relative to the rod. This got the assembly below the boss.

Power unit complete !! Great to have a stand alone sub-assembly like this that just bolts into the chassis frame.
