The letter from the Heritage Motor Centre arrived today with the Landy’s date of birth.

It was made at the Lode Lane factory, Solihull on the 8th August 1983. This letter will help with registering it with the DVLA once the rebuild is done and the motor has an MOT.

Of course I have been spending more money and today picked up a couple of batteries and a rear quarter light. These were needed because the replacement ignition has arrived so it will be good to see what electrics if any work on it!

The only bits I have done today to the Landy are starting to disconnect the wiring toi the nearside wing which will be removed later this week.

I have Wednesday and Thursday off this week so I’m hoping to make some serious headway on the welding.
