Isle of Wight 2012
Despite only travelling about 10 miles in seven months, the TR7 made it to, and back, from the Isle of Wight for the camping weekend with the only failure being a broken window winder! The clutch is a bit high and it's got a high tickover - but both of these are minor. I'll get some bits and bobs sorted before the MOT...
We're going to make a decision in October whether to keep the 7 and lavish some time and money on it so it's back to being it's best, or sell/trade it in for something else. Sarah likes the roundtail spitfires so one of those might be on the cards.
I have the front suspension for the Vitesse, so will start putting that together ASAP. Hopefully it'll be on it's wheels in the next few weeks and I can start thinking about the engine...

Frenzy of Activity (not)
2x new wing mirrors ordered from Robsport with a temporary 2nd hand hood bag (until I get the mohair one sorted). Car now on a battery conditioner so hopefully will start better. New stereo ordered (as per Hugh's recommendation). Will get it taxed next month as we're off the the Isle of Wight in May for the TSSC Camping weekend, and 6 months tax will take us past the TSSC Lincs weekend in September. So the car will hopefully be fully operational again in the next two weeks. I may even have the Z3 wind-breaker fitted!
The Vitesse has the front springs fitted to the shocks (Thanks Keith), and as soon as I've got the front wishbones back - there's a chance it will sit on it's own wheels. Would like to have the engine overhauled and fitted, along with the propshaft and brake pipes this summer if at all possible.
Slow progress, but progress none the less!!!

Clearing Out
An imminent house move means that I'm clearing out any bits that aren't needed for the Vitesse re-build. Up first is the rotoflex suspension and spring...
Hugh Glossop has found that the following MP3/SD/USB fits nicely into a TR7 (no CD mechanism though) - Radiomobile head unit model number RM7628NCD.
