    Good Evening Mrs D and Al. This very Gorgeous and Beautiful Classic vehicle really is looking ready for a very Long Road Trip around Europe i reckon. For a 35 year old Peugeot 305sr to be running as well as this is absolutely Incredible Al. Once her Radiator has been either Re-placed or Repaired, she will be a Super Runner on the road. Thank you very much for sharing Al and Mrs D.

    Great video Al. I’ve done some bodging and bashing, swearing and a good few beers to get some very old crap going and up to whereby for the right to get an MOT. Mmm, where did they come from when you’re working for some back street car sales. Fortunately since the early Sixties the repair industry has totally cleaned up its act??? Keep’m coming. Nice to see your missus, my She’s a brave woman, just like my good lady of fifty five years. Funnily enough when her car runs ok, it’s hers. When it blinks it’s mine!
