Well, it's passed then!
No advisories, nothing! Woooooopiiieeeeee!
I'm not sure about how fast it's gonna be, I'm not sure how accurate the speedo is either. But damn, it's fun.
If you put your foot down in third at about 45-50, you can feel the wheels losing grip. But I've not taken it over 5000rpm.
Oh yeah, VODA had it down as a 1971 Rover 100 cabriolet, with a 1400 engine in it. So, there's some kerfuffle with paperwork to sort out. I mean, that's an obvious error on their part, but the MOT tester just put the correct details in and away to go.
Oh yeah, it's taxed too! Free tax is the best! Woooop woooop!!

Oh and I've decided the Acewell will do for now. It's working fine. Just need to check the speed is right.
Oh, and my inlet air temp sensor arrived whilst I was being tested. Gonna go sort that out now.

I don't think it's that far out, to be honest. I reckon it's maybe 5-10% over ATM.

Yup! Just had a quick play in it. Need to make a caster sugar/camberwick green gauge for it. It's all over the shop at the minute!

Karl, if I had an MOT I'd definitely fail!
JR, cheers, it's me boffday today actually, the MOT was like a slightly early present though.
