Our 1962 Hillman Minx has been in the workshop being assessed by classic car technician Jonn. One of the first things Jonn noticed was that the letter I needed to be reattached to the bonnet.

More progress has been made on our 1984 Suzuki GSX 400T. The original guard was used instead of a hugger, as the arm was too narrow for this.
