MCW 475 P has now become my "british" H2C

The previous owner gave me the H2C frame and the correct engine was in the Foale chassis

Glad I'm not the only one who likes to take a bit of time. These people that do full restos in 3 months must have nothing better to do

Three months is a long time, it's usuall money that slows it down, or finding rare bits and pieces, oh and dozy suppliers!
