Stop it now.

You are condemning this vehicle to a life where it never touches the road again and just lurks in a collection somewhere as an undriveable object of curiosity
 
Sorry but I agree with Noyzboy. Fabulous quality of work but………. Are you really ever going to take it out again?

Isn't it right that a few stunning examples of the vee are tucked away for the future, and not just the one's that are a pretty colour ?
 
I do apologise for the delay…I can confirm the ly is now finished.

It has undergone a major mechanical overhaul which includes many new parts fitted.

Another stunning restoration, wow, that's got to be better than new. That's amazing to see.

It's got to be right up there with the 2 sub 900 mile LYs, assuming that they still remain with collectors on those mileages. Those are assumed to remain in original, now at least 18 years old condition with presumably some minor imperfections which need to remain as they are, to keep it original. But your's Leigh has many recently new parts and then many which are restored and protected to better than new. Does that mean it's now the best of the LYs, which many acknowledge to be the best Vee colour?

Which LY is it?
 
I see you have put [v6plaque]300[/v6plaque] up for sale on collecting cars, good luck sell it Leigh, it is a credit to you :approve:
