This week we collected the car after her check over by J R Goold Vintage Steam Restorations, all ready for the 2017 season. Although Stanley is MOT exempt, we feel that it is always a wise precaution to have an occasional check over by an expert. The car's steering has been tightened, both rear band brakes relined, and an extra steam valve added for the water lifting siphon (I connected the original dash mounted siphon valve to a stack blower in 2015 after a fuel vapour 'bang' whilst standing outside the garage). All we need now is warmer, frost free weather and we will be out and about again. Meanwhile there is paint touching up to be done, the car needs a good clean and the side lamps a coat of black paint.
