All,
I bought my VS in 2003 drove it for the summer and in the September when the tax ran out parked it in my grandfathers garage and there is sat for the next 13 years.
Last year I made the effort to get it back on the road, so after;
A full service.
Brake master cylinder change.
Clutch master & slave cylinder change.
A lot of swearing and a fair amount of sweat.
On the 22nd May 2016. It's finally back on the road.
I've attached a picture taken in Ironbridge, which isn't far from where I live.
A short afternoon out for a test and a few hours in the sun.
My partner loved it, so hopefully this is the start of years of days out.
I've attached the pic, hopefully it's right as I've never done this before.
If not let me know.
Hopefully we'll start to see you on the road/at the shows.
Regards,
Simon.

Great to have another back on the road. Your grandfather's garage must be dry and well ventilated!
