The COE made it to its first show a couple of weekends ago !

I convoyed over to Goodwood Motor Circuit from South Wales with a couple of mates to the Retro Rides Weekender show, I had been trying to get 500 miles on the truck to run the new engine in a bit but only managed 250 before we left,

we cruised over the 220 miles to the show and the truck behaved really well only one rear brake getting a bit hot, set up camp and had some beers ready for the show in the morning, was an awesome show with such a diverse lot of retro cars and I think the truck went down ok. Drove back that evening and the only thing that let me down was the Chinese switch I had as a starter cut out,

Now 800 miles on the truck and just changed out the oil and filter and been trying to faux patina the paint to get it all to match a bit better on the back but its a work in progress,

Anyways here are some photos, the better ones are from a proper photographer, that was kind enough to take some and make my truck look pretty kool.

A 5 year old with a single use point and shoot camera can take pictures and it would still look super cool.
Awesome ride. I would love to see that one in person.

Congrats and thanks for the pictures. That's a really cool COE. Here from the Western Hemisphere it looks like your paint matches.
