I really enjoyed reading this, what a brilliant project! The original Engine cover looks so much better. I would really like to see more.
Have you considered starting a retrospective thread detailing the restoration & subsequent operation? The kind of thing Popopbangbang might have put together?
Keep considering it but a lot is on my cars insta @jonsgarage_18
Although I note that car is currently up for auction on f1 authentics
Night feel differently after tomorrow’s first run
(:
Thanks for sharing this, I'll give your Instagram account a look. I really don't think thatI could sell something like this, especially after having shaken it down!

Superb!
Sounds great - but the video is annoying as the camera is moving about so much you can't really get a good look at the car.But doesn't the car look small.
I got sent a pic the other day next to sennas mclaren at Monaco, and the euro burn is huge in comparison
Will upload later

Some of my favourites already posted - the Williams Honda FW11, Ferrari 640 and McLaren Honda MP4/4, so a more unusual one:
March 881.
Newey's first F1 car - amazingly capable and slippery.
Ferrari F1 87/88C.
Should have been a contender for a championship, but the MP4/4 came along and the rest is history.
Just done a deal to acquire one of these, next to my eurobrun of the same year it makes the Eurobrun look like a tank...sadly I won't fit in it, as Ivan Capelli was built like a jockey and the car was built around him....Neweys book reveals he didn't have enough room inside to change gear so they had to cut a dint in the monocoque for hime to shift into...March 881.

Yep, will be documenting the restoration....it’s got an interesting history as this never raced, it was the prototype/test chassis....so literally the first newey f1 car
Great! Really looking forward to this. It's also nice to see the "Newey bump", seem to remember his Autobiography mentioning that he fashioned a mould out of Clay & grafted the Carbon Bump onto the Chassis overnight? Something along those lines. Anyway, looking forward to this. https://twitter.com/1990sF1/status/139389650647058...

There's a Jordan 191 up for sale at the moment, claiming tho have links to Michaels debut.
But its 191-6 , Michael raced in 191-5.
Its on the speedmaster site...currently lives in the next village to me. Lovely machine, very well restored.But its 191-6 , Michael raced in 191-5.
191-6 is literally the first car MS drove for Jordan. He used it in practice at Spa. He then used 191-5 for the race.
If you look on my instagram there is a cracking photo of my eurobrun, taken from the onboard camera of 191-6 while they were both out playing at donning ton in april
