LBS and I love your appreciation of detail too. The gloves you refer to on the passenger seat are leather flying gloves.
However I wore these gloves for the Goodwood photo shoot: The helmet is an Everoak Les Leston repro (made by the son of the original manufacturer) which Sir Stirling kindly signed for me. The goggles an original pair of late 50/60's Climax, the driving gloves are modern but I love the colour and they're string backed.

Did you plans change Bob - or have I just got confused? Fantastic effort by the way, well done
Ian thank you. Plans, err,,, things kind of evolve as we go along really. The next dilema to be faced is do we go with this engine as it is now running on original Italian webers normally aspirated and points ignition, or, back on the EFI - electronic ignition Emerald system that the previous engine ran on. silverspeed said:
Hi Bob - is the engine at A.E. ? You did well to find the DB4 engine ! What happened to the DBS engine or is that still in the car ? It’s been a fantastic journey for you . When do we get to see the car - AMOC Englefield House ?
Graham hi, A.E. yes. The DBS engine we delivered to AE in hopes it would convert, turns out the block had cracks between 2 cylinders that although possibly repairable, AE wouldn't warranty the work. So we opted for a new block, crank, pistons and rods @ 4.7 ltr with a new DB4GT head. Doubtful the engine will be back in the car in less than a month, Andrew (ASM) is flat out busy.
