Love dials/instruments, 8 is a great count. Far better than digital screens to me. Are they all original, or any added later please?

Hello Keith ,

Some time ago i tried to find history receipts of the previous owner way back in pre 1980.
.Well glad to say that due to relocating items to my newish residence they emerged yesterday going through boxes of paper things..
Don`t think it is the total amount but most of them..
Can you forward your address so i can send them to you..
Tried to bring up your email address but it doesn`t respond..

My email address is david7molly@hotmail.co.uk for forwarding.

Even though i am penniless Keith you are welcome to them FOC
It is a pleasure to see it in that condition after last seeing it some 12 years ago in a dusty neglected rolling shell state in the council lock up garage
Thereon passed around the scene when i sold it as usual with these situations of heavily involved restoration.
You have 90% succeeded where again i and others have failed to complete the project.
.As at today`s state of affairs history repeats itself..at present
To think that the sale price i received kept Llewellyn Imp Motorsport going for another month back some 12 years then with my young Son`s karting activities...

Looking at these latest pictures it is as i was only sitting behind that dash together today with wires dangling down on my knees like that back in 1980ish when i used it..How could i leave it locked away off the road for 25 years after molesting it with attempted modifications is shameful.

Dont feel bad, you just looked after it until it was someone elses turn to be the custodian.

If you didnt have it (for 25 yrs) it may have just disappeared forever. Life can get in the way of best laid plans. Hopefulyl it'll be back on the road soon, thanks to both of you.

I'm trying hard to Finnish it like I said in previous posts it's fighting me all the way but I'm sure I'll get there in the end, you have nothing to feel bad about David you have helped me in more ways than one , if things had gone different I wouldn't be the lucky owner of wfd400h, thanks in advance for the history your sending me , and your support with this project , Keith
