Sunday 31st May 2009. Following a concerted four day effort to get EAO running, the moment of truth finally arrives! My sincere and grateful thanks go to Cambridge Rebores, John Davies, Tom Coulthard and Bill Mohan, for their amazing support and advice in the build up to this moment (Click on the above icon to watch a video of the initial start-up).

EAO during 1967, in the hands of its seventh owner - Warwick Edgington. The car is seen here on the driveway of his house in Four Oaks, Sutton Coldfield, with sons Simon (in the driving seat) and Adam (in the red anorak), who kindly sent the photo. The full-width plywood dash had been removed from the car prior to its discovery, but had survived along with some other 'bits'. The interior trim panels had also survived (the rear hinged panel securing straps are clearly visible). Note also the leather bonnet strap and early one-piece Bugeye sidescreens.
