HAPPY NEW YEAR.
technically i'm not starting the restoration just yet. it's more of a tear down and assessment, although i do the odd bit i have two carriers, a charioteer and a centurion to restore first.
i have managed to source pretty much all the parts i need to restore it to running condition with the exception of the engine. this is a big unknown and would be hard to replace with anything other than another flat 12 engine. i just hope we can find someone to work a miracle with it!
