Very very nice Steve and no doubt a very good engine to go with it. I am sure you will have good fun.
What I just don't understand however is why you don't have a backrest for the helmsman and navigator. Good to have a back support in heavy weather whether you are sitting or standing
unless this is still to be fitted

Trying not to, when we got back had my 6 year old son (Freddie) wiping it all over. I new he had a good use
Speaking of the mud was tempted to take the car for a spin across but I think it would have sank
