Nice. And a smug face to boot! Looks nice. Is that the same as a Stuart Taylor one? My Phoenix is a Stuart Taylor.

if i get time at the weekend, i am going to give it a good clean, and a treatment of ACF-50

That's a really nice looking car

At first I was wondering how on earth you'd get the engine out with the clearances, then I noticed the engine cradle tubes are removable.

The ACF-50 is a good idea. Salt and bare aluminium do not mix well.

I gave the aries a clean today and a treatrment of act-50
