Fitted walnut facia trim to DD surround. That's the last piece.

2.5 V6. Fitted 2.5 litre torpedo badges.
Fitted non standard V6 badge on boot lid where GB sign used to be.
Check oil and coolant.

Walked passed it, noticed some dreaded white blotches in a nice line across the roof & bonnet, wiped them off

Went for a walk & walked passed it again

Big job tomorrow though

Had a triangle for over 30 years. You need one when touring Europe.

Bet you get advisories on brake disc corrosion, or undertray obscuring components or such like.......you know what MOT testers are like these days

P.S. I'm not investing in a nightfire red coupe, doesn't matter how much I'm tempted

Washed leathered and polished Mrs MB's Classicasseur SE.

A sort of reward for not having a wet boot/back seat/carpet/stinking like a foisty old mycology experiment

Mmm.... shiny Royal Blue

Had a 75 delivered to the garage today that was a total loss insurance claim, while removing the drivers seat, I found a receipt for 72 mixed mates condoms

so not so much as what did I do today, more like what did the driver do last month

My initial guess was they must have got the wrong idea, when someone said replace the master cylinder condom

Fitted a secondary light into the boot lid, so now boot has 2 lights and I can actually see what I'm loading in now.

Running the cables through the rubber trunking into the boot lid was not as hard as I expected ....

Not today but Friday. I SORNed the old girl. She's being replaced by a Merc E270 of similar age. My trusty Royal Blue Connie Tourer will be moved into the workshop where it will undergo a slow overhaul.
