Gilbert
The journey started today as myself and MG David collected Gilbert from Northampton after we won the auction. Mary has booked her medical and ARDS at Thruxton in January so full steam ahead.Below you can see the excitement from my co driver,

Good stuff, will be great to keep Gilbert going. ARDS at Thruxton should be fun too.

Fantastic; a great car. The first time I met Mike was when he had his head buried in the boot of Gilbert casting a critical eye of the fuel tank IIRC.

Great news Iain,well done.I always like it when these cars stay in their own circles,rather than being bought and never used again.
