Despite the showers, we had a great day at Shelsley Walsh for the Piston Gin & Gumball 3000 day..
This clip shows friends Justin and Jo on their only run up the famous hill in the (real!) Lancia Stratos ..

This was the only run that we did in the Stratos at the event. A great day despite the many rain showers. Apologies for the poor audio quality.

You can't beat a bit of good old bodgery..!

A lot of our classic work is rectifying earlier poor quality repairs, perhaps understandable when many years ago today's classics were worth so much less!
