Mmmm, yes. I was slightly annoyed at a certain letter in this months FP on this subject.

Yes, but would they rather see a Traction left to rot, be broken for bits, or saved and put back on the road?

There are 2 schools of thought, leave a car as it was found, unrestored, but get it running or do a total renovation. If your going the 2nd route and spending your money, what’s wrong with adding in a few ‘improvements’ so that the car is safer/more appropriate to drive in today’s vastly changed traffic conditions from when the design was 1st conceived way back in the early 1930’s?

Outwardly the car looks no different to the original design and all the ‘upgrades’ are hidden ‘under the hood’ so no one except the nerds out there would notice 🙄

Anyway back on track, you need to get some kms on the clock before your ‘season’ starts so go and enjoy Andre’s wonderful creation.
