Thanks for that, Norman - worth the wait, believe me.
Looking forward to seeing her in the flesh this summer!

Are both A4's actually being repainted? I had heard that they were to be ushered to Doncaster works as soon as they landed fish n chips side

Let's hope they paint them garter blue!!!
Actually
Dwight D Eisenhower was the first A4 painted garter blue after WW2 in September 1945!

Garter blue without valances and with stainless steel letting with the number 8, would be perfect
