Unfortunately I do not.
But here is a gratuitous picture of mine from a couple of months ago having a "minor service".....You can just make out some famous Facel owners on the back wall...

According to the sale details and information we received when it was bought two years ago, it was restored by the current owner, who has a restoration company which I believe is in Hertfordshire. Check out the car on the Historics' auction website or on the FVCC website. Or go and see it at Ascot but you haven't much time left!

That looks lovely! Is it back together now?

The 'minor service' on my HK was started over 20 years ago. It got a little involved!...



But the car is almost finished...

Hopefully by the summer - Covid delays....
I'm particularly looking forward to the switch to a dual carb set up (and improved brakes)!
