    Fantastic to see Mark, finally the entire restoration comes to an end in which you can now enjoy the finished product: a very beautiful 275GTB! I've loved the entire process and will print this thread in to PDF, great to see such devotion and dedication to this 275 GTB.

    Thanks everyone, really appreciate your kind comments.

    We are not over the finishing line yet, a few details, adjustments and small jobs still to do.

    Then the actual road test! Hopefully very soon.

    cheers Mark

    Hi Maximus, can you email me the PDF when you create it, i don't know how to transfer the thread into a PDF document.

    Although i have printed every page off and glued full colour photos into every picture slot, this has made the most fantastic documentation of the restoration!

    cheers Mark

    Hi,

    I've followed this wonderful thread all the way from the start. So nice to see one of these being restored properly and looking to be put to everyday use. I live down in kent and do a bit of photography as a hobby - if you are ever out for a drive or the car is on show near here I'd love to come and take a few pictures.

    Thanks

    Wow Marc, what a journey! She oozes overall elegance and and love for detail from every possible angle in a way that very few modern cars can even come close to....

    I hope you and your family will enjoy driving it as much as I have reading this thread:)
