Friday 28th September

Hi all

The last week has been a strange week. We don't appear to have had a minute to spare but I can't really see what we have done!
The most important part of the week was our meeting with David from VOSA who spent some time with us going over the changes we are proposing and talking us through some of the finer points. We really do appreciate his input and it has helped reinforce our view that the SVA is achievable on the Gentry, whilst still being able to maintain the stylish good looks the car has always had. So once again I would like to say a really big 'thank you ' to David and hope that the final car we send to Birmingham for the test meets his expectations.

We are going to be taking a quick break so nothing will be happening for a couple of weeks, so there will be little point updating the blog unless something that just can't wait occurs. Therefore the next scheduled blog update will take place on Saturday 13th October and thereafter we'll revert back to the normal Friday updates.

For those who are interested don't forget the Restoration show at Stoneleigh on Sunday 28th October (apparently that's the same weekend the clocks go backwards) and according to the adverts there are no advance tickets this time either.

We are still planning on having the launch of the car at the kit car show at Stoneleigh on the 4th/5th May. Nothing has happened so far to change that plan so we are pushing ahead with that date and hopefully will be able to achieve it.

Only a brief update this week but shortly work will commence on the body and then we should see the car starting to take shape.

Please keep returning to monitor the progress and if there is anything else you would like to see or know then drop me an email and I'll see if I can get it into the blog.

Geoff
