Checked progress with Grant Goold, car passed boiler tests ok, only one extra bit of work to be done now. Phoning Grant next Tuesday to arrange collection.

Tidying up Stanley's garage, putting up new shelf unit, sorting out tools, and checking recommended feed water treatment amounts in readiness for getitng the car back.

Car now has a MOT certificate and the boiler inspection is scheduled for 5th September.

Meanwhile am getting tools and supplies, and have entered the car in the Prescott Autumn Classic event http://www.prescott-hillclimb.com/october2011.aspx

Car delivered to Grant and Justin Goold of J R Goold Vintage Steam Restorations Ltd today; we should have the her back in a few weeks time, ready for the road with MOT (its first and last perhaps!) and a new boiler certificate. Now have to get cracking ordering tools, oil and spares.

Only hitch so far is that the Ifor Williams car transporter has proved too big to easily move in our drive & line up with the Stanley's new garage, so that will have to be sold and replaced by something smaller.

And I am still trying to find a supplier for 25 litres of Hexane, the best pilot burner fuel for a Stanley.

Car cleaned; numberplates, lamps, mirrors and toolbox fitted. All ready for our comissioning  slot at the car restorers next month.

Had a fuel leak when checking with the system unpressurised that the burner valves were free - traced to a loose pipe nut on the main burner valve.

The car is now home and in the new garage.  Cleaning and tidying, fitting number plates, toolboxes and mirrors in progress. Only snag so far is discovering that our Ifor Williams CT177 car trailer is a bit too big to easily line up with the new garage, so need to sell it on and get a smaller lighter one sometime..
