Just as a closing thing really seeing that i haven't updated this for nearly a year! I spent the summer with the Dolly doing the local shows like the Retro show at Santa Pod for the weekend.

 

 

then i won 1st prize at the BMC/BL rally in Northampton for 70's cars.

 

 

and best visitor at the Morris Marina Rally (there wasn't much competition)

 

 

but i wasn't using it much and having bought a Rover SD1

 

 

which was better use to my needs being bigger and nicer to drive on a run i decided to advertise the Dolly for sale.

 

 

 

 

where it found a new owner in Leicester who's a collector of them and been looking for one for years, it was sad seeing it loaded up but the pocket full of money helped ease the blow.

 

 

 

 

Between me and my dad we really turned this car around, i probably sunk about £1000 into it over the 2 1/2 years and had a lot of fun with it and feel really proud of turning it into one of the best SE's left in the country now, the new owner seems quite smitten with it as 4 days later he managed to gatecrash it onto a polishing stand at the NEC classic car show where I've noticed it's had a huge amount of attention (even if I've done all the work he's crediting for)

 

 

 

 

 

So there you have it, that winter project is now finished, on to the Ital Van!

The photo of it with the Fuzzbot sums it up to me. It went to a good home, and now the Triggermagic has been worked on an unloved little blue van from the BL stable. Well done
