Some recent pictures of the Beige Beast - slowly but surely coming back to life - hope to get it MOT'd in the next couple of weeks.

Well....the Beige Beast is now up with Richard Dalton going through its MOT and the associated restoration to get it through it....unfortunately, once you start digging, there is more rust and holes than first suspected - none of them fatal and thankfully the chassis is perfect.

Looks like a really good find Steve. I especially like the dating via KitKat wrapper. :lol:
