I was down there in mine for the 3 days so I've no idea how you managed to keep yours so clean. I've not yet attempted to get the mud off of mine!

I parked at The Kennels and then shuttled in and Saturday being horrible i opted for the Range Rover - so well done for driving down on Saturday in a DB3.

I had a Healey 100-6, and I agree. Very heavy front end, scary brakes.

Still need to wash it, do a bunch of little adjustments around the car, add PPF, redo the corner marker tint with clearcoat, etc. But mostly done.

A few cosmetic jobs.

Fitted new number plates and LED interior lights. Lights were only a 20 minute job thanks to the very informative guide posted here previously and makes a big difference to how the interior feels. Now the ambient light matches the dash lighting.




I also sprayed the stubby aerial from gloss to matt black to get rid of the logo and so it's a better match to the lower section.

Before...



After...
