Just recently had this in from the good people who are looking after the Custard Tart for me.
After the Silverstone Classic it was sent up north to spend some time with a very trusted spanner man and, subject to the results of his assessment, to have a little paint to deal with a few super deep stone chips and near 20 years on the road with only a little blow over at some point many moons ago.
Time was (is) not an issue as I don’t need the car these days so my only instructions were that I wanted a full service and going over to make sure all was as it should be and that no issues were present or about to become evident so far as they could see.
The above has all been done and a clean bill of health issued. All done with regular updates and the only items needed to make tiptop mechanically were new discs and pads all round which I was expecting anyway as I haven’t had to do anything with those in the 20k+ miles I have put on her.
Car has now been sent next door to Surface and Design where Dave (a PHer) has had a good look over the whole car. We had a few chats about bits and bobs and agreed on pushing ahead with many of his ideas. I have now just had this little teaser send to me
All that is left now is for the wheels to be refurbished and painted and for a few little leather patches to be put onto the original seat covers to ‘cover’ 20 years of ware without the need to get new covers and start to get anywhere near Triggers old broom. I want this to be one of the very best Speed Yellow CS’s out there but want to retain its integrity and to be fair even a new set will start to show ware in a few years.
Most likely will be a few weeks yet before she is back in my hands but plan to go out and get some nice pictures as soon as she is before I start re applying stone chips

Wheel colour. Seriously,do you really need ask 
Speed Yellow is the only proper colour they can possibly be.
The White one has black wheels with a white band which looks good on that colour body.
Only bit I need to source out atm is a clock/lcd display as age and the cold weather 2 years ago killed the wounded one it had when bought it
