You have been holding back from us HSB.
Some call re-chroming the hubcaps a restoration,this is
more like a resurrection. That is an awesome comeback and you are owed much pleasure.There is a MK11 being re-built as well if you have a "rat" around. Well worth a look. Maybe Graham did not realise the extent of this restoration and being segregated to the 420G MKX section may have deprived some forum members from seeing this. IMO.
Good Luck and hope you have some time for updates. I love that side by side shot,and the wedding pic looks beatiful. Thanks Again.Neil

Hi, Long time since last post.
Still got the G, but have done what my Dad did in 1970! bought a new one. I've had it now 2 years, done 31600 miles, just had new tyres on the back at 26000 and front at 31000. Have a look at the MPG that i'm getting, bet you can't believe it, well it's the best car I've ever had in 50 years for ,MPG.

Thanks Graham,
But I like the Jelly Mould!
It does everything I want from working with the trailer to carrying my Grand Kids and their Mother in the back with my wife and I in the front, Bikes on the back and top box. Also the MPG is amazing. But yes, the 'G' is so much easier to drive, it really is, so smooth and comfortable, but just not practical for today.
Thanks for your comment after so much time.
Regards
Paul
