NorfolkNWeigh Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 ...and people complain about BL quality control.If you mean the mis-matched clocks, the 180 mph speedo probably came from the same car as the engine.The original speedo would have had an RR logo - always annoyed me when they were new, and showed how unimportant Bentley was pre-Turbo.

Largactil Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Braw. Are you still out in Banchory? I seem to find myself staying in Kingswells for a week with work, and am contemplating bringing the LNA up to Abergloom. I might pop by the garage to give it a run...

Saabnut Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Thanks for all the kind comments guys! The Blatters stickers were put on for the Le Mans Classic last year. Sadly at Folkstone on the way back it blew a suspension/brake pipe covering the turbo in oil, which resulted in a trip home by AA wagon (great service!). It has sat since then awaiting attention and the manufacture of some unique parts (the trouble with a hybrid in the old sense of the word) but was completed and MOTed last week. The stickers will come off tonight. The junk on the floor is also left over from its French trip, and had I known it was going out on loan would have at least put it in the boot! 0ldCh0d and groovylee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
