Thanks for comments on my car photo on the beach in Denmark. We parked on the beach to see the Rubjerg Nnude lighthouse, in North Jutland, that was slowly sinking into a sand dune due to coastal erosion. Since our visit this lighthouse has been jacked up and slid on skates 70 metres inland to a more secure position.
My original speedometer still works, despite having electronic ignition fitted to my car. However the needle does wander up and down and the odometer was out by 5%, and I had this recalibrated a few years ago. I use a Tom Tom satnav in my car which gives a more accurate speed indication.
I have done a lot of 'rolling' restoration of my car over my time of ownership, so that I could use the car over summer months throughout the last nine years. The car is no 'show princess' but a tidy enjoyable classic that has proved to be very reliable. It has proved a joy to own!
