Having said that, as we got close to completing the restoration (no hood, no windshield, lights not all functional, etc...) we decided to give it a spin up the road - check the gears, clutch, brakes, etc... We NEVER see Police where I live (country lanes & the like), but as fate would have it they were about that day. After a quick 'reminder' of road regulations, the officer wanted the full info on this 'as new' MB!!

HOW UNLUCKY WAS THAT Chris ?.......:-)
